Please follow the assembly and installation instructions
carefully. With proper assembly and installation, your
new screen will deliver years of trouble-free service
Preparing your screen for installation
Part List
• Carefully open the package and lay out all the parts on a clean,
flat surface
• Use extreme caution when unpacking the screen; do not use
knives or sharp objects to open the packing boxes.
• Do not unpack the screen material at this time.

Installing the snap lugs
• Slide the snap lugs into the section of the extruded aluminum
frame as shown in Diagram 1.

• The snap lugs line up with the arrow decals on the frame
tubes. Alignment is not critical at this stage of the installation.
Note that the screen is supplied with 2 extra snap lugs; should
you lose or break a snap lug, one of the spares is a convenient
replacement.
Installing the screen material
• Place all of the frame tubes face down on the work surface and
carefully line up the ends to form shape of the finished
screen.
• The 4 supplied “L” shaped corner bracket assemblies are used
to join the individual frame tubes together.
• Loosen the 4 screws on the “L” brackets. Next, carefully
slip the brackets into the aluminum frame channel as shown
in diagram 2.
• It will help to leave the screws loose until you get all of the
brackets in place.
• Carefully line up the frame corners and tighten the screws
slightly; repeat this step at each corner.
• Note that you may have to loosen and adjust the brackets
and frame tubes in order to get the frame perfectly square. A
carpenters square is very helpful with this stage of the
assembly.
• Line up the snap lugs and the screen material with the frame
and press the snap lug through the corresponding hole in
the material. Some adjustment and re-adjustment is often
necessary; this is normal. Note that the tensioning rod goes to
the outside of the snap lug (See Diagram 4).
• Repeat this process all the way around the frame. As you
position the tensioning rod behind the snap lugs,
the screen will become tighter on the frame and any
wrinkles or creases will disappear. It may also be helpful or
necessary to temporarily “unsnap” or loosen the snap lug for
adjustment, especially as you work to the final corners of the
screen.
• Once the screen is in place and the tensioning rods are
seated behind all of the snap lugs, inspect the front
of the screen. Make sure that the screen material is flat
and wrinkle-free. Also, check the corners to make sure that
the screen is properly positioned. If there are any wrinkles
or positioning issues, simply lay the screen face down and
adjust accordingly.
• Note that some very small fold lines or wrinkles may exist for a
few hours; this is due to the packing of the screen and they
will disappear within a short time.
• Make sure that hands and work area are clean before working
with the screen materials
• Carefully unpack the screen material- Use caution as the 4
tensioning rods are contained inside the cardboard tube.
• Carefully lay out the screen material so that it roughly lines
up with the frame- Exact position is not critical at this stage of
the assembly. It is important that the screen material is facing
the correct direction. It is easy to identify the back side of the
screen as it will have the stitched or welded seam visible.
• Unpack the 4 metal tensioning rods.
• Insert the long metal tensioning rods into the longer edges
of the screen material, one rod per side. It is easier if the
screen is flat on the floor. Use care when installing the rod;
do not force it or damage to the screen material may occur
(See Diagram 3).
• Insert the shorter tensioning rods into the corresponding
sides of the screen; as with the longer rods, use caution to
avoid damage to the screen (See Diagram 3).
