A mesh for the windows | SIMPLE PROCESS

Friends, I'm back after a few days with other occupations but I can't forget about you and here I am to share a repair technique of interest to all.

Repairs at home, are jobs that are pending for lack of time or money. It is common that for one reason or another we put aside these tasks that demand our attention but postponing some of them can bring us bigger problems and more expenses. This post will be about a job I was able to attend to on the three windows of the house where I am recently living in Colombia. They needed the installation of a protective mesh and I had to get down to work, to save me worries, which I will tell you in the development of this article, and thus be satisfied to meet this need at home. Without so many complications, a simple process to install a protective mesh.


Amigos, he vuelto luego de unos días con otras ocupaciones pero no me puedo olvidar de ustedes y aquí estoy para compartir una técnica de reparación de interés para todos.

Las reparaciones o arreglos en casa, son trabajos que quedan pendientes por falta de tiempo o de dinero. Es común que por una u otra razón dejemos de lado estas tareas que demandan nuestra atención pero postergar algunas de ellas puede traernos mayores problemas y más gastos. Esta publicación se tratará sobre un trabajo que pude atender en las tres ventanas de la casa donde estoy recientemente viviendo en Colombia. Necesitaban la instalación de una malla protectora y había que poner manos a la obra, para ahorrarme preocupaciones, que les contaré en el desarrollo de este artículo, y así estar satisfecho al atender esta necesidad en casa. Sin tanta complicaciones, un proceso sencillo para instalar una malla protectora.

This mesh will prevent my cats from escaping, especially one of them, the youngest one. I have two cats and a dog because I love animals so I keep my pets out of harm's way and the house has to be adapted with them in mind as well. You can see her very quiet under the desk but she loves to be at the window to see the tempting outside world.


Esta malla evitará que mis gatas se escapen y especialmente una de ellas, la más joven. Tengo dos gatas y una perrita porque me encantan los animales por eso cuido del peligro a mis mascotas y hay que adaptar la casa pensando en ellas también. Pueden verla muy tranquila debajo del escritorio pero le encanta estar en la ventana para ver el tentador mundo exterior.

So the reason for this work and investment has been to keep my youngest cat from escaping.


Así que la razón de este trabajo e inversión ha sido evitar que mi gata más joven se escape.

Because she was in the window she has jumped into the bushes in front of us and on three occasions she has disappeared. People have taken it away but fortunately we have recovered it with informative flyers announcing its disappearance. So, to avoid these bad experiences we had to do some work on the window.


Por estar en la ventana ha saltado hacia las matas del frente y en tres ocasiones se ha desaparecido. Personas se la han llevado pero por fortuna la hemos recuperado con volantes informativos anunciando sus desapariciones. Entonces, para evitar estas malas experiencias había que hacerle un trabajo la ventana.

The materials I used were 15 meters of plastic mesh, 2 packages of nylon plastic clamps and galvanized concrete nails.


Los materiales que utilicé fueron, 15 metros de malla plástica, 2 paquetes de abrazaderas plásticas nylon y clavos para concreto galvanizados.

The cost for each material:
Mesh = 5 Meters x 15.000 Pesos ( 1 m. x 3.000 Pesos)
Nylon plastic clamps = 8.000 Pesos (1 package x 4.000 Pesos)
Galvanized concrete nails = 2.000 Pesos (Detailed)
Total investment = 25.000 Pesos.


El costo por cada material:
Malla = 5 Metros x 15.000 Pesos ( 1 m. x 3.000 Pesos)
Abrazaderas plásticas nylon = 8.000 Pesos (1 paquete x 4.000 Pesos)
Clavos para concreto galvanizados = 2.000 Pesos (Detallados)
Inversión total = 25.000 Pesos.

Oh! and I bought a hammer that cost me 12.000 Pesos, but whoever has a hammer doesn't have to buy one like me.

¡Ah! y compré un martillo que me costó 12.000 Pesos, pero quien tenga martillo no tiene que comprar uno como yo.

There are a variety of models of protective nets or fabrics that exist in soft and metallic material. But a plastic one was enough for me and my cats, although depending on the impact they are going to receive, it is necessary to choose the most resistant materials that offer protection and durability. However, this model of plastic mesh is resistant and aesthetically suitable. I decided on this type of mesh. The meter of mesh is 3.000 Pesos. I bought 5 meters for 3 windows.


Hay variedad de modelos de mallas o telas protectoras que existen en material blando y metálico. Pero una plástica era suficiente para mí y mis gatas, aunque dependiendo del impacto que vayan a recibir hay que elegir los materiales más resistentes que ofrezcan protección y durabilidad. Sin embargo, este modelo de malla plástica es resistente y estéticamente adecuado. Me decidí por este tipo de malla. El metro de malla está en 3.000 Pesos. Compré 5 metros para 3 ventanas.

The galvanized steel nails I bought were sold to me at the hardware store for 2.000 Pesos; they are expensive but strong enough to drive into the concrete wall.


Los clavos de acero galvanizados que compré me los vendieron en la ferretería detallados por 2.OOO Pesos; son costosos pero resistentes para introducirlos en la pared de concreto.

23.PNG

It is good to choose the right nails because I had to spend a little more, because at the beginning I had bought another bag of 2,000 thousand pesos, but the first nails did not work because they were wall nails, black, smaller and very soft. They bent very easily. So the cost of nails was higher, if we look at the nails I lost. Anyway, you can also do this job, with eyebolts, cane screws or steel nails to hold cables. But I chose these galvanized steel, straight round-headed ones, because they still work for me, hooking the mesh on the nail head.


Es bueno elegir los clavos correctos porque me tocó gastar un poco más, pues al principio había comprado otra bolsita también de 2.000 mil pesos, pero los primeros clavos no me sirvieron porque eran de pared, de los negros, más pequeños y eran muy blandos. Se me doblaban muy fácilmente. Así que en clavos el gasto fue mayor, si vemos los que perdí. De todos modos, también se puede hacer este trabajo, con tornillos cáncamos, tornillos tipo bastón o clavos de acero para sujetar cables. Pero elegí estos de acero galvanizado, rectos de cabeza redonda, porque igual me sirven, enganchando la malla en la cabeza del clavo.

The nylon plastic clamps I purchased are thin, sufficient and strong.

Las abrazaderas plásticas nylon que compré son delgadas, suficientes y resistentes.

26.PNG

I bought 2 packages at 4,000 Pesos each, each package contains about 50 units, which means that there are a lot of them. Ideal for the three windows.


Compré 2 paquetes a 4.000 Pesos cada uno que trae como 50 unidades cada paquete, es decir que son muchas. Ideal para las tres ventanas.

I started at the front window of the room for the screen installation, as that is my cat maiden's favorite.


Empecé por la ventana del frente de la habitación para la instalación de la malla, pues esa es la favorita de mi gata doncella.

The nails had to be driven into the wall from the inside to act as a hook for the mesh. If I have to replace it, it won't be difficult to do.


Había que meter los clavos en la pared por dentro para que sirviera de gancho sujetador para la malla. Si tengo que cambiarla no será difícil hacerlo.

I then continued with the remaining windows. On these I would use the clamps.

Luego continué con las ventanas restantes. En estas usaría las abrazaderas.

I was satisfied with the work and the investment. It offered me peace of mind regarding my pet and aesthetics. We can do a simple and functional grooming, spending less. However, let's remember that it is not only about saving money, but also about doing a good job even at a low cost. It is a matter of analyzing everything and opting for the solution that fits without falling into poor quality.


Quedé satisfecho con el trabajo y la inversión. Me ofrecía tranquilidad respecto a mi mascota y estética. Podemos hacer un arreglo sencillo y funcional, gastando menos. Sin embargo, recordemos que no se trata solo de ahorrar, sino de hacer buenos trabajos aún a bajo costo. Es cuestión de analizar todo y optar por la solución que se amolde sin caer en mala calidad.

Excellent job, you solved a problem without complications. The best thing is that the cats will be protected and will only go for a walk with you. I love the way the windows look, although I am not a lover of protective netting, I recognize that you made the right choice to solve a problem at home. I congratulate you.

A hug ♥

Hello, friend @sorprendente. That may just be a simple window job but I'd consider it a work of art as well as a labor of love for your adorable pets. I agree it's one of the most practical ways of preventing your 2 cats and dog from harming themselves in the outdoors. Which also makes me curious. Have you considered also installing a mesh to prevent mosquitos from entering your interior spaces?

Hi my good friend @storiesoferne out of love come the best works of art 😀 That's why my pets are safer now. About a mosquito netting I haven't thought about it because I don't have problems with pests here where I'm living. Well, at least for now. I hope the mosquitoes stay under control 😊 A blessed day.
