SECTION ONE: OPENING CRITERIA
Ensure that the opening is square and level.
The Habitat Screen must be mounted as follows:
1.1) Panel Box and Shaft:
The shaft must be level. This is the most critical part of this installation. It may not
be sufficient for the bubble of the level to simply be between the lines. The bubble of the level should be centered
perfectly between the lines and a quality 4’ or longer level should be used to confirm this. If the shaft is not level
the Habitat Screen will experience tracking problems and the curtain may appear to have excessive wrinkles.
Note that the shaft is not necessarily aligned perfectly with the panel box so it’s best to level the unit based
upon the shaft.
1.2) Guide Rails:
Both guide rails must be mounted plumb and true with equal spacing between from top to
bottom. If they are not, the Habitat Screen will billow excessively or bind during operation.
1.3) Sill:
The sill or floor may have a slope, especially if installing on the side elevation of a deck. The shaft must
remain level regardless of floor, sill, or header conditions. You may decide to cut the guide rails at unequal
lengths in order to accommodate the resulting difference from side to side. One option to consider is the option
of adding Bug Brush to the bottom profile which can seal off the gap that can occur under the bottom profile of
the curtain in this case.
SECTION TWO: MOUNTING METHODS
Insert the panel box endplate legs temporarily into the guide rails.
