HomeMade fridge screen

Too cheap to buy the outrageous priced commercial screening I made and installed some myself


The "slobber" tube for condensate/defrost goes through a 3/4 copper sweat union.
The next time I'm in town I'll replace that with a piece of PVC to make it invisible to the casual eye.


It's not very noticeable now


I used aluminum window screening held in place with two sided tape and overlapped with "Gorilla " duct tape.
What little loss of flow I get will be offset by two 120mm fans thermostat controlled.

  • Nice and neat! But...the mesh looks pretty small from an airflow perspective.

    Can't tell if that's a trick of the pic or what- if it's the same mesh as the one in the last pic on the rig's outside it should work great!
