Tenera Installation Instructions 48

Installation Overview

Check the packaging to be sure you have all the components needed to install your shadings.
Keep the packaging until the shadings perform to your satisfaction.

Required Components

■

Arch Fabric Support Clips.

Your arch shading should have two pre-

attached fabric support clips on the shading.

■

Installation Brackets.

The angle shadings should include one

installation bracket per fabric support clip.

■

Angle Fabric Support Clips.

The number of clips will vary with

the size and type of angle shading.

■

Drill Template.

The drill template is used to assist with the placement of the fabric support

clips and installation brackets.

■

Adhesive-Backed Stop Strip.

One side of the stop strip is pre-installed. Install the other

side once the shading is centered in place. The stop strip applies tension to the shading.

Optional Components

■

to level the installation brackets.
