Hi Matt,

1. Placed a piece of tracing paper over the vent, I traced shapes that would cover the entire vent.
2. Scanned in digital format & retraced it again with a CAD program & printed out & made adjustment & more adjustment...
3. Sent the file to my friend, he used his laser cutting machine to cut those pieces. ;-)
4. Placed flyscreen in-between two laser cut pieces & fused it with gorilla glue & trimmed over hanging flyscreen.
5. Finally, used zip ties to hold in place. That was challenging and I was able to put only three zip ties per vent.

If you like, I can send you the file in these format; DXF, JPG, PDF and ETC. You are welcome to use it and change it if you like. I want to simplify my vents, it's too complicated... Maybe I can attach rubber hoses instead of those zip ties???
