Step 4: Add the screen
With the cooler pad cut and in place, it’s now time to use the scissors or shears again to cut some fiberglass window screen (usually two layers) or some garden cloth to go between the inside wall of the 5-gallon bucket and the evaporative cooling pad.
This is where it will be handy to have the final measurements of the evaporative pad you cut earlier.
The screen helps retain the pad and the water it’ll hold within the bucket.
