We have a screened lanai, and the screen at the foundation is coming loose. We can see no means of attachment for this screen. (No spline, screws, etc) How can we repair this loose screen? It is about 6-10 inches long, and is not a tear, but just coming loose from the aluminum framing. We allow our cat, and a bearded dragon lizard to run loose during the daytime out here, and don't want them to escape! Thanks for any help you can give me.

There is some vinyl casing 1" x 4" sold at Home Depot. Cut to pieces the length of the base and make a sandwich with the screen, one piece outside and one inside.

It may be held with something like the SceenTite system. Is the exterior aluminum or vinyl or just wood?

A picture might tell a lot.
