carpet tacker::Can you recommend another method?
Using brad nails vs.
Using a hammer tacker?
I forgot to mention that this is for aquatic insects underwater in a lake.
A bead of silicone will hold your screen without leaving gaps for the insects to escape.

Wrap through the screen and around the pvc pipe.
Bailing wire is a solid wire, similar to a twisty, that is twisted into place to hold.
