Hatch and Companionway Mosquito Screens






Hatch and companionway screens are a little more difficult to set a price on. Lets say that a hatch screen will run at about 30 Euros and Companionway Screens about 90 Euros. That's just a rough estimate to give a general idea. You can take your measurements yourself just for the pricing, and then if you like the price I will come and take more accurate measurements to ensure the right fit.
The Hatch screens do require snaps to be screwed into the frame around the hatch, usually takes about 8 snaps per screen. The screens can either be removed and put away when not in use or they can roll up to one end and held in place with velcro. Measurements needed should be outer edge length and width of the frame to which the snaps will be screwed.
The Companionway Screens are made to overlap the outside edges of the opening, and the weighted rigid batten holds the screen down on the top and then it hangs over the edge and again a weighted batten at the bottom causes the screen to hang straight down. A couple of short straps with snaps attached hold the top edge to the sliding hatch cover.
The measurements needed are width of opening, length from pushed back hatch to edge/corner of opening and the drop from the corner to the outside floor.
I'll work on a diagram which I can scan into this page to show more accurately how to measure.
