ATTACHING THE SCREEN TO THE FRAME (CONTINUED)
Figure 11. Screen, Audience Viewing Side
‣
Continue attaching S-hooks to grommets along the top from the top left to the center top. The screen
centerline is marked with a red grommet at the frame center (see Figures 11 and 12).
‣
As you work, continue to unroll the screen, cutting tie cords as required and attaching S-hooks to
grommets along the top.
‣
Inspect the screen to ensure that it is properly attached and not overstretched.
‣
When the middle S-hook is attached to the center top grommet, the grommet should be
within 3” or 7.5 cm of the center of the screen. If the center hook is short of the center
grommet, continue attaching the hooks along the top until you reach the end. You will need to
adjust the screen on the frame before attaching the sides. Shift the S-hooks, one grommet at a
time, to move the screen sideways on the frame. When the screen is centered on the frame,
you can proceed with the sides.
