ATTACHING THE SCREEN TO THE FRAME (CONT.)
4.
Lay the frame on top of the screen, mounting side up. Starting with the snaps on each of the corners,
lift the screen and snap the screen onto each snap. Then, snap the rest of the screen starting with
the snaps in the middle of the frame and move out towards the corners. Be careful not to jerk,
wrinkle, or crease the screen material.
Note: For vinyl and woven screen materials: If there are any wrinkles or puckers in the screen,
adjust the snaps on the frame from side to side. Lay the frame viewing side down on a clean
surface. A movement of 1/16” to 1/8” (1.6mm to 3.2mm) is usually sufficient to eliminate any
puckers.
6.
If your screen material has tension tabs in the corners of the frame (vinyl materials only), gently fold
each tension tab over to help close any gaps created while wrapping (see Figure 10).
