If your balcony door or large window has been standing open all evening "just for the breeze" — and the mosquitoes have noticed — a pleated mosquito net is the neatest fix you'll find. The mesh folds like an accordion and glides along a slim floor track, so it covers wide openings without ever looking bulky. When you don't need it, it tucks away into a compact side rail and your view stays completely clear.
At TrueInstaller, we connect you with verified pleated net installers in your city who measure, fabricate and fit the net to your exact opening — usually within 2–4 days of your enquiry.
Why homeowners choose pleated mosquito nets
- Made for large openings — balconies, French doors, sliders and full-height windows up to 20+ feet wide with multi-panel designs.
- No door-slamming springs — the net stays wherever you leave it, which children and elderly family members appreciate.
- Barrier-free track — the floor rail is just a few millimetres high, so trolleys, wheelchairs and little feet cross it easily.
- Space saving — nothing swings inward or outward; the pleats stack into a slim cassette.
- Long-lasting polyester mesh — UV-stabilised imported mesh keeps its shape for years and is easy to dust down.
Where a pleated net works best
Pleated systems shine where regular openable or sliding mesh panels struggle:
- Balcony sliding doors and patio openings
- Full-height living room windows and sit-out areas
- Villa entrances and duplex staircase openings
- Offices and cafés that want airflow without insects
Indicative pricing

| Standard pleated net (single panel) | ₹280 – ₹380 |

Frequently asked questions
Will the pleated net block my view or airflow?
No. The mesh is fine enough to stop mosquitoes and flies but stays visually light — you'll keep your view and cross-ventilation.
Can it be repaired if the mesh tears?
Yes. The mesh cartridge can be replaced without changing the whole frame. We also offer mesh door repair if you have an older net.
Does it suit odd-sized or very wide openings?
Pleated nets are the go-to choice for wide spans. For unusual shapes, ask about a custom mosquito net.
