Removing an outside screen, particularly a window screen, can be a simple process if you know the correct technique. Based on the provided reference, here is a straightforward method you can use.
Understanding the Basic Technique
The core idea involves creating a small gap and then using a tool to disengage the screen from its frame. This method is demonstrated in the reference video for standard window screens.
Step-by-Step Guide to Removing an Outside Window Screen
Follow these steps to remove your window screen from the outside:
- Approach the Window: Stand in front of the window you wish to remove the screen from.
- Create Space: Use your thumb and push up on the window screen. This action is designed to give you a little room between the screen and the window frame or sill.
- Insert Tool: Once you have created a small gap, slide your knife under the screen frame. The reference specifically mentions using a knife for this step.
- Pop Out the Screen: With the knife (or similar thin, sturdy tool) inserted under the screen frame, gently pop out the screen by applying leverage.
This technique effectively disengages the screen, allowing you to lift it away from the window opening.
Remember to handle the screen carefully once it's removed to avoid damage. Store it in a safe place where it won't be bent or punctured.
