looking sweet mate , definately be cool with a screen in DIY places have a lot of plastic channels mate , they do a sliding track thats E shaped end on but you could cut off one channel to make a U section with a sharp stanley knife , score and snap . Think B&Q is your best bet as not sure Wickes do it . |
