3. Setup and Installation
The TecTake Mosquito Net is designed for straightforward assembly. Follow these steps for a secure and effective installation:
- Measure Your Window: Accurately measure the dimensions of your window opening where the mosquito net will be installed.
- Cut to Size (if necessary): The aluminum frame can be cut to your required dimensions using a suitable saw. Ensure precise cuts for a snug fit. Refer to the product dimensions for guidance.
- Assemble the Frame: Connect the aluminum profiles using the provided plastic corner connectors. Ensure they are securely inserted. While the connectors provide a firm hold, avoid excessive force during insertion to prevent damage.
- Install the Mesh: Carefully lay the fiberglass mesh over the assembled frame. Use the included spline and spline roller (if provided) to secure the mesh into the frame's groove, ensuring it is taut and wrinkle-free.
- Attach Mounting Hooks: Secure the appropriate mounting hooks to the frame. These hooks are designed to fit window frames with a thickness between 5-23 mm.
- Position the Net: Place the assembled mosquito net between your window and the existing blind or shutter. The hooks should rest securely on the window frame, holding the net in place.
No drilling or screws are typically required for standard installation. Mounting materials, including various nails, may be included for alternative or specific mounting scenarios not covered by the primary no-drill method.

5. Maintenance
The TecTake Mosquito Net is designed for low maintenance due to its weather-resistant and UV-resistant materials. To ensure its longevity and effectiveness:
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically wipe the aluminum frame and fiberglass mesh with a damp cloth to remove dust, pollen, and other debris. A mild soap solution can be used for stubborn dirt.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the frame finish or the mesh material.
- Inspect for Damage: Occasionally check the mesh for any tears or holes and the frame for any bends or cracks. Minor tears in the mesh can often be repaired with a patch kit.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your TecTake Mosquito Net, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Net Does Not Fit Properly:
- Re-check your window measurements and ensure the frame was cut accurately to match the opening.
- Verify that the mounting hooks are correctly positioned and securely engaging with your window frame.
- If small gaps exist, consider using weatherstripping or a similar sealing method to ensure complete insect protection.
- Frame Feels Unstable After Assembly:
- Ensure all plastic corner connectors are fully and securely inserted into the aluminum profiles. A firm tap with a rubber mallet (or similar soft tool) may help seat them properly.
- Verify that the mesh is evenly tensioned across the frame. Uneven tension can cause slight warping.
- Mesh is Sagging or Loose:
- Check if the spline is fully seated in the frame's groove. Re-roll the spline with a spline roller to re-tension the mesh if necessary.
