Screen Material
Step 7: Put on the white gloves(m) and carefully unroll the screen material on a clean surface from the roller
to the other side as shown below. The back side of the screen material should be placed upwards.
Step 8: Insert the fiberglass rods (n) through the openings. The longer rods are used on the vertical edges of
the screen material, and the shorter rods are used on the horizontal edges, as shown below.
Step 9:Carefully and gently place the assembled frame on top of the screen material. Make sure to not allow
the angle edge of the frame to come in direct contact with the screen material to avoid puncturing it.
Step 10: With one end of the spring and secure inside the groove of the frame, use the spring hook (d) to
attach the spring to the hole located on the screen material’s outer edge in the following order.
Attach the four corners first (1). After those are secure, connect the vertical portions of the material, begin in
the center and move towards the corners (2). Lastly, connect the horizontal sections of the material by
connecting the center of the material and make your way towards the corners (3).

Note (after all springs have been attached):
Correct material installation –Corners of the screen material are properly wrapped around the corner edges
of the frame and material is evenly tensioned and flat, creating a nicely taut surface.
Incorrect material installation –Thecorners of the screen material are not properly wrapped along the edge
of the frame leaving the material with unbalanced tension and an uneven finish. To correct, detach springs
from material at the corner(s) where material does not lie flat along the edge of the frame, reposition the
material so that it lies flat and wraps along the edge of the frame, and reattach springs to the material.
Center Support Bar
Step 11: Insert the Center Support Bar (i)into the upper top groove on the back of the frame with the bottom
end near the approximate center point of the frame and rotate it in at an angle so that both ends of the bar are
in alignment with the groove.

wall brackets with the drilled holes on the installation location and screw them in using a Phillips screwdriver.
If not installing into a structural wood stud, use a hollow wall anchor then screw in the M5x50 wood screws
with a screwdriver. Make sure the brackets are leveled.
Step 15: Position the fixed frame screen onto the top wall brackets as shown below and push down at the
center of the top of the frame to secure.
Step 16: With the frame slightly tilted outward; connect the bottom brackets onto the bottom groove of the
frame. Then secure them by screwing onto the wall.
