Screwing insect screen around velux directly in drywall.
We bought a velux insect screen to place around a Velux window on a sloped wall in our bedroom. The wall around the velux is made of a thin layer of drywall, behind which there is mostly insulation (so nothing solid). The instruction manual says to place screw anchors in holes we will have drilled in, to hold the screwed mosquito net frame in place. I am worried that the drywall won’t be strong enough to hold the fly screen (the screen comes with a metal frame that is quite heavy), given that the screw anchors will only be held by a thin layer of drywall. Any thoughts ? Any advice is welcome submitted by /u/Deep-Blue28 [link] [comments]
