Staple out from the center, placing staples about 3” apart.
Important:
Make sure to keep mesh flat and taut
while stapling.
Staple down the sides and corners.
Use enough staples to keep the Hardware Cloth securely
mounted to the frame.
Insert three ¾” Lathe screws (finger tight) into each 17”
pieces of pre-drilled weather stripping.
Align the 17” piece of weather stripping to the edge of the
door assembly. The edge of the weather stripping should
be flush with the edge of the door.
Optional:
When attaching the weather stripping you can
apply a thin coat of glue between the wooden strip and
the door. The glue will augment the three Lathe screws to
provide additional strength.
Make sure that the 17” piece of weather stripping is
equally spaced between the top and bottom edges of the
door.
There should be about 1” of space between the
top/bottom edge of the door and the strip.
