Now let get started

• Lay the frame on a flat surface and remove swivel clamps or catch to remove the only screen.
• Remove old screen.
• Drape the new mesh the frame.
• Cut the mesh on 3 sides to the outside edge of the frame but on the 4th side allow a generous 75-80mm overlap to enable the fabric to be stretched tight.
• Warm the PVC spline in hot water to make it more pliable so it is easier to manipulate. Use your fingers to work it into position.
• Start about 90mm from the corner and at the opposite end to the one that has the extra allowances for stretching.
• Use the spline roller to press the PVC spline into the slot.
• After completing one end, stretch the mesh tight whilst at the same time inserting the spline into the remaining 3 sides.
• Trim the excess with a sharp knife.
• Attach the catch or swivel clips. Then fit the completed screen into place.
• The completed screen is now ready to be put into place.
