DIY Screen tops for tanks over 4'

[clownsrcool]

What is everyone doing for screen tops for tanks over 4' that don't have a center brace? I Need to make a screen for my 60" tank that has no center brace and BulkReefSupply only sells 48" screen frame pieces.

I went to Lowes and made my own from screen for windows, they have kits to cut and piece them together

Can you find 5' pieces or do you have to piece together smaller pieces?

I'm pretty sure they have 5' kits. If not they sell straight connectors that you can splice them together. If you need mesh try searching on r2r for "clear mesh" in the title. There's a guy with a lot of the stuff for sale.

I used a T in the middle to make my own center brace
