Hi!

The previous owners of our home built a screened in porch as an addition to the house. They sandwiched the screens between wood frames. We were dog sitting and the dog went through one of the screens and ripped it out of the frame. I thought it would be an easy fix, just remove one half of the frame, replace the screen fabric and put the frame back on. Except, after they built the porch and installed the screens, they poly'd everything as a whole unit. The frames are firmly glued together.

Short of taking a crow bar and prying them apart (and then damaging the wood, and having to rebuild), does anyone have a solution of how I can get them apart?

As a whole, it needs to be sanded, it is peeling everywhere on the outside portion of the structure (porch side seems fine still) and retreated with something better. But first, I have to fix the screens.

Thank you for your time and advice!
