CAUTION
Do not use excessive force to stretch the screen into place as this can cause the screen to tear
8 Attach the screen to the sides of the frame, using the techniques described below
Attach S-hooks on the right side from the top to the center If the screen edge is more than 4” / 10
cm from the frame on the right side, allow a few minutes for the screen to stretch before continuing
Tension should be even; the top of screen and frame should be parallel
Attach the S-hooks on the left side, from top to bottom, and the right side, from center to bottom
9 Inspect the screen to ensure that it is properly attached and not overstretched Check for even tension
10 Attach the screen to the bottom of the frame, using the techniques described below Begin attaching
the bottom in the corners, being careful not to put too much tension on any grommets Work toward
the center
You may need to skip three or four S-hooks to develop enough slack in the bungee cord to hook the
grommet without creating too much tension If you feel that you are pulling on the screen or the bun-
gees too much, attach only the hooks that allow for minimal tension to give the material enough time
to stretch before attaching the skipped hooks
If there is too much tension, wait to allow the screen time to stretch as needed Continue attaching
the remaining S-hooks along the bottom, working toward the center
11 Make a final inspection of the screen to verify that it is attached properly and that the corners are free
from tears and stress
ATTACHING A WRAPAROUND SCREEN TO THE FRAME
Once you have assembled the frame, you can attach the wraparound screen to the frame The general
instructions are the same as for a nonwraparound screen with the following differences Be sure to refer
