 carefully line up the ends to form shape of the nished
screen.
•The4supplied“L”shapedcornerbracketassembliesareused
 tojointheindividualframetubestogether.
• Loosen the 4 screws on the “L” brackets. Next, carefully
 slipthebracketsintothealuminumframechannelasshown
 indiagram2.
•It willhelptoleavethescrewslooseuntilyougetallofthe
 bracketsinplace.
• Carefully line up the frame corners and tighten the screws
 slightly;repeatthisstepateachcorner.
• Note that you may have to loosen and adjust the brackets
 andframetubesinordertogettheframeperfectlysquare.A
 carpenters square is very helpful with this stage of the
 assembly.
•Lineupthesnaplugsandthescreenmaterialwiththeframe
and press the snap lug through the corresponding hole in
 the material. Some adjustment and re-adjustment is often
 necessary;thisisnormal.Notethatthetensioningrodgoesto
 theoutsideofthesnaplug(SeeDiagram4).
• Repeat this process all the way around the frame. As you
 positionthetensioningrodbehindthesnaplugs,
 the screen will become tighter on the frame and any
 wrinkles or creases will disappear. It may also be helpful or
 necessarytotemporarily“unsnap”orloosenthesnaplugfor
 adjustment,especiallyasyouworktothenalcornersofthe
screen.
•Once the screen is in place and the tensioning rods are
 seated behind all of the snap lugs, inspect the front
 of the screen. Make sure that the screen material is at
 and wrinkle-free. Also, check the corners to make sure that
 the screen is properly positioned. If there are any wrinkles
 or positioning issues, simply lay the screen face down and
 adjustaccordingly.

with the screen materials
• Carefully unpack the screen material- Use caution as the 4

•Unpackthe4metaltensioningrods.
•Insertthelongmetaltensioningrodsinto the longer edges
 of the screen material, one rod per side. It is easier if the
screen is at on the oor. Use care when installing the rod;
 donotforce it or damage to the screenmaterialmayoccur
 (SeeDiagram3).
• Insert the shorter tensioning rods into the corresponding
