In this video, we show you how to quickly and easily assemble a solar window screen from SolarScreenOutlet.com. For more information or questions about how to order custom size solar screens for your home or building, visit SolarScreenOutlet.com.
INSTRUCTIONS:
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.
Assemble frame using the corners provided. Be sure the spline channel is on the inside edge of all 4 frame pieces.
(Optional) Insert 2 pull tabs into the spline channel on the side of the frame opposite the springs.
(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.
With the frame fully assembled, check to make sure the frame fits in the window before proceeding. 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.
Find a large flat surface and lay the frame down, spline channel (back) side up. If desired, tape down the edges of the frame to keep it in place.
Lay the solar screen on top of the frame. It does not matter which side of the screen is up. Be sure the screen overlaps the spline channel by at least ½” on all four sides.
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. This will help keep the screen tight as you roll it into the spline channel.
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). Repeat this for all four sides.
Starting in one corner, roll the spline into the spline channel using the convex (grooved) side of the roller. Push spline into corners with flathead screwdriver; using the concave side of the roller, be sure all the spline is securely seated into the spline channel.
Solar Screen Assembly
Trim excess spline using a utility knife.
Be sure there are no waves or folds in the screen before moving on to the next step. If there are, remove spline and screen and start over.
Trim excess screen using a utility knife by cutting just above the spline at a 45 degree angle.
