54”x32” wood window screen frames

I’m replacing all the wood sash window screen frames and looking for a good way to join the corners together to look similar to original, I thought the Corogated pieces you hammer in but maybe not best option?

I restored a screened-in porch about 15 years ago and did something like this

This video shows the frame kit you can buy at Home Depot
These frames have a channel that you push a spline which locks the screen in.
It was easy and all of my screens were tight

Best bet is to use a chop saw, waterproof glue, and screws. If you want to maintain dimensions, buy 5/4 PT deck boards cut tight, let them dry out in the house a/c then assemble. Prepaint, then screen using galvanized staples, or regular staples and paint.

When I lived in CT, I had to custom build those screens many times. The customers were sticklers for an authentic job with newer materials that would last

Monster pain in the ass, but they did look good.

I still have 1 screen frame that was in good enough shape to re-screen about 7 yrs ago but now thinking I should’ve saved all of them to repair & RE-screen, only place I found that Carrie’s true 1” thick lumber is Anderson lumber and stupid $
