Start here
Once all 4 mid sections are held in place, you can work from the centres out to the
outer edges. Do a quarter of the screen first, see the oval covering one quarter above.
Then proceed to the bottom or opposite quarter marked Q1 thru Q4.
If you have any creases in the fabric you can pull the strip up and re-insert without
much effort.
If you have followed these directions exactly, you should have a perfectly flat viewing surface.
If at anytime you notice crease in fabric, simply pry up or pull up the SCREEN-GRIP strip with a
pair of pliers to get under the edge and reinsert whilst pulling the crease out with your other hand.
DO NOT PULL THE SCREEN GRIP UP BY PULLING THE FABRIC UPWARDS.
THIS MAY TARE THE FABRIC AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY
At this point, carefully lift up the screen and check the viewing surface. Once you are happy
with it’s finish you may cut off any excess fabric with the supplied cutting knife.

Grey arrows:
Show direction to work out to corners
once centres are put in place. Same for all 4 sides.
Red arrows:
Indicate to pull the fabric outwards
as you are pushing in the screen grip strips. Do this
for each section. You may also be surprised to see
you don't need to pull on the material much at all!
Screen fabric
HINT:
When doing the 1st quarter of each section of the screen, pull fabric outwards
just ahead of where you are pushing in the strips to take out some of the slack. It wont appear flat
just yet because the opposite side is still to be done - When doing the opposite side, you may not even
need to pull on the material at all as the Screen Grip strips will tension it for you.
Follow these numbered quarter sections. If using 2 hands or gentle tapping with a hammer to push
the grips into place. Another person to help with the fabric is recommended.
NOTE: You only want the material to sit flat, NOT tight like a drum skin. It only needs to be flat,
there is no need to be heavy handed and pull on the material or trying to stretch it.

4. Now the short sides are held in place. Move to the long sides and do the same for the top
and bottom. Now you should have all 4 sides held in place in the centre of each frame length.
See blue sections below.
Run knife along this inside edge
