You make a frame with window screen frame material, about 4 bucks at a hardware store. The screen is pushed into the grove of the frame with a rubber strip holding it in tightly. For tree frogs you would want more screen at the top than I used for the darts. You can be creative and even add in a screen section at the bottom for better air flow.
Here is a link to acrylic door parts for making lids and front. Other places sell this but Joshs is the first place I thought of.

Now, you don't have to go all out like this and just do the tank as you were going to originally but I like height over width for tree frogs.
