Adding Screens to your Horse Trailers Drop Down Windows

[LadyB]

Hi All!

I just purchased a 2007 4 Star 2 horse straight load trailer. It has drop down windows with no bars. Such a cool feature, but there are also no hooks to set up a screen to let them get more air.

I would love to use the drop down windows in the summer, but will not use them unless I have screens.

Has anyone ever added their own screens to the drop down windows? I’m looking for the ones that you can hook on to rings with.

I called our 4 Star dealer, they said that we would have to weld rings on, but I’ve seen some screens advertised with rings sold with them, screwed in.

Has anyone ever purchased these, and installed them?

Any tips is greatly appreciated.

I have. Got them at Valley Vet. I believe they are made by Professionals Choice. Was a bit tedious marking carefully where to drill holes for the brackets, but I am very pleased with them. The straps do wear out but I get about 2 - 3 years out of them.

Looked it up for you:http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=eb05e4ac-3d5e-45cb-a6a6-8f2cc5cc2f68&gas=trailer%20screens

Yeah my friend has these too for her trailer. I think screens are a good idea! I only ever use flymasks, considering buying screens for my LQ Exiss though. My Sundowner has bars on the head side drop downs but nothing on the butt side drop downs. I’m trying to remember where I saw ones with button snaps, like a boat cover…those were super handy. You can get them made, like ones I’ve seen on vehicle weather fronts. brainfart of course I don’t recall that company name either lol

Great Thank You!

I was hoping someone had some sort of experience with them. I found these ones http://www.sstack.com/product/dura-tech-trailer-window-screen/ Dura-Tech ones, which I like the idea of clipping them on, instead of velcro, as I feel the clips would last longer.

I’m hoping they will fit, will have to measure the windows, but this is exciting!
