Fence Screen & Windscreen Measuring Tips

MEASURING

It is very important to be very specific when taking custom measurements. One cannot take too many notes and be too detailed when making measurements. The following tips are suggestions to help you in your measuring process.

For accurate measurements, make sure that the tape measure is stretched tight so that there is not any slack in the tape. Measure from inside of post to inside of last post on straight run. (don't include end posts in the measurement). Windscreen should only cover the fence mesh/ material. Gates - measure width and height inside of gate frame.
When possible, try to keep windscreen panels at a maximum of 50 feet in width. This allows for easier handling and installation.
Do NOT round off measurements. Send exact measurements of all fencing and gates in feet and inches.
Do NOT assume two fences are the same size. Measure every fence just to be safe.
Make all measurements at site when possible rather than from drawings.
Make note of each measurement immediately. Do not make multiple measurements before writing them down.

INSTALLING WIDESCREENS

Hang the hems of the binding in toward the fence, smooth side out. Start with a top corner of the fence and top corner grommet and work your way down to bottom of the fence. Once you have attached each grommet, work your way down the fence line (left to right or right to left) starting at the top and stretching material as you go. Once you reach the end of the section, return and do the same at the bottom porting of the screen, stretch material tight with each attachment. For windscreens over 6ft tall it is recommended that you add lace cord to the center of the screen to minimize movement from the wind.

General Product information:
Always hose down windscreen for cleaning. This allows the force of the water to remove grit and other abrasive particles that may damage the screen over time. Let the product air dry and it will look great for years to come. Should product be cut or torn be sure to repair immediately.

Fastening Devices. There are two recommended fasteners:
Zip ties - self locking plastic fasteners that speed any windscreen installation. They are strong and easy to handle, and available in black color which helps hide them from view.

Hog rings - These are galvanized steel rings that need to be crimped closed into each grommet. - galvanized grey color. *Hog ring pliers are also required with this application.
