![]() ![]() I may have been able to cut new openings in the frame but it would not look very good and may have compromised the frame structure on that side of the door. The cutouts in the door for the lock and handle did not align with the cutouts in the frame. The door fit the opening perfectly and looked great. They sent an entire roll of screening and for NO charge! By the way, the screen was easy to install with the the type of spline that they provided - took me about 10 minutes to cut and install - and I do not like installing screen!The other problem was with the Cabana door that I ordered. Gary (the Operations Manager) responded quickly and sent out replacement screen. I said that that they could charge my credit card for the extra screening. I contacted DIY EZE Breeze and requested enough screen to replace the torn one. To be honest I really do not know if it came that way, was torn during shipping, was torn when I unpackaged it, or was torn while sitting in my garage for 2 months. We found that one of the screens was torn. And yes - they look great and do what they are designed to do.As you might expect for objects of this type and size (8 windows - about 5 x 5), there was a couple of problems - one minor and one major. If I had not used brackets in building the porch the DIY EZE Breeze windows would have been installed very easily and quickly. The windows all fit and fastened easily after my modifications to the brackets. I did have to do cut away some of the metal support brackets but nothing that affected the structural integrity. As it turned out - the windows were constructed in such a way that the variableness of the window was not an issue. Because of this I was very uncertain about how the windows would fit. ![]() In addition to that problem, I used brackets to secure the posts to the frieze beam. All of the windows are different in size and none of them are precisely true and square. Because of that I was not as precise as I could have been in dimensions and being true and plumb (my regret!). I thought that all we would do is to attach screening to keep out bugs. But here is why I rated it like I did.When I built the porch I never intended to eventually install windows. If that is enough for your decision making you can skip the explanation of why I said this. Great company, great communications and a great product. ![]()
