These kind o f things are great to mend. They all come apart and if you dont break the little plastic lugs ;;go back together again. Theres lot s of spare bits available .new , ebay or from scrappers. Springs dont usually break they just need rewinding to put some tension back in them and reassemble . Take just a little bit of practice to get them back together without them springing open. Mesh can be bought by the yard and glued or taped on --its a lot easier than cleaning them and its cheap. If you cant men , the units are usually available put can be a bit pricey. Remember the fixers adage it went together so it must come apart !!! but think look and think again before using the screwdriver! And there are lots of answers to this already here if you do a search

I do try Jeff but he insists at times. But honestly we do not know how this went because we were just sitting at the table I think I was lying down. It suddenly went a big bang and we jumped out of our skin. After gathering the skin and putting it back on we found the mesh door would not shut without a fiddle back inside the casing. It is so handy as Bob snores bad and it allows us to keep the door open all night to let the air in.
