Do not roll screen/spline into the center bar. Roll the screen into the spline channel (without the spline) - start from the center of one side and finish that side, then move to the opposite side (use concave (non-grooved) side of the roller). This will help keep the screen tight as you roll it into the spline channel. Smooth out the screen to remove wrinkles and waves and place a heavy object (such as a gallon of water) in the center of the screen. Be sure the screen overlaps the spline channel by at least ½” on all four sides. It does not matter which side of the screen is up. Lay the solar screen on top of the frame. If desired, tape down the edges of the frame to keep it in place. If you need to make any adjustments to the width or height, disassemble the frame and trim the frame down to size using a chop saw, hacksaw or grinder.įind a large flat surface and lay the frame down, spline channel (back) side up. With the frame fully assembled, check to make sure the frame fits in the window before proceeding. (Optional) Add center bar/clips by sliding one clip into each side of the center bar and clipping the center bar into the desired position. (Optional) Insert 2 pull tabs into the spline channel on the side of the frame opposite the springs. Be sure the spline channel is on the inside edge of all 4 frame pieces.
If you are using leaf or tension springs, insert them on one of the frame pieces (top side is recommended) by sliding a spring into each end of the frame piece.Īssemble frame using the corners provided.
