Round Swamp Cooler screen

Posted by jth374 on April 25, 2009, 10:00 pm

-------------------------------------

Does anyone know how to get a new outside screen for a large round swamp
cooler? They stopped selling them in the local area and mine crumbled
when I tried to remove it today. It "was" made out of plastic or
something like it and had not been used in years. If you know of an
online supplier for such a cooler please let me know.

thanks for any help

I'd probably just fashion one from window screen or other mesh.

I'd bet if you made a single cut in it going up/down and opened it up, you
would find that the screen was rectangular in shape and not round!

Thus you could go to the hardware store and buy wire mesh screen and cut it
to the same rectangular size, then tie it together at the ends to make it
"round"...

Very true and a good explanation.
