Step 1 – Cut roll of self-adhesive hook/loop material into 3 strips, -two lengths equal to the height of the
door jambs, and one long strip for the header (measurements vary to screen).
Step 2 – install and align the self-adhesive hook/loop strips on both door jambs, about 1 inch in front
(street side) of the door stops/weather strips. Then add the hook/loop strip to the header, so that it
allows a smooth surface edge with both door jamb strips.
Step 3 – starting at either upper corner, attach the Fresh Air Screen® to the hook/loop strip which is
mounted on the header. Then attach the Fresh Air Screen® to the hook/loop strips that are mounted on
either of the door jambs of the garage door opening.
Step 4 – Attach the enclosed cleats to the door jabs, between the garage door and the screen, about 5 feet
high using the wood screws provided.
Step 5 – Install the enclosed eye screws. (Refer to illustration below.) All 6 eye screws should go into the
header on the garage side of your screen approximately 1 inch from the screen as follows:
Eye Screw 1 and 2 – place 1 on each side, 6 inches from the center zipper
Eye Screw 3 and 4 – Place 1 on each side, 12 inches in from the outside zipper
Eye Screw 5 and 6 – place 1 on each side, 6 inches from the outside zipper
Step 6 – Attach the brackets to the header (street side) across from eye screws # 1, 2, 3 and 4. (See Step 5).
Step 7 – Inserting the enclosed cords according the following:
1.) Long Cord #1 – Insert the knotted end into the bracket across from Eye Screw #1. Run the cord
down and under the screen, then back up to Eye Screw #1. Run the cord through eye Screws
#1, #3 and #5 then down to the cleat.
2.) Long Cord #2 – Insert the knotted end into the bracket across from Eye Screw #2. Run the cord
down and under the screen, then back up to Eye Screw #1. Run the cord through eye Screws
#2, #4 and #6 then down to the cleat.
3.) Short Cord #1 – Insert the knotted end into the bracket across from Eye Screw #3. Run the
cord down and under the screen, then back up to Eye Screw #3. Run the cord through eye
Screws #3 and #5 then down to the cleat.
4.) Short Cord #2 – Insert the knotted end into the bracket across from Eye Screw #4. Run the
cord down and under the screen, then back up to Eye Screw #4. Run the cord through eye
Screws #4 and #6 then down to the cleat
With the Screen pulled all the way down, tie the cords together about 12 inches below the cleat and cut
off the excess cord. Do this for each side.
Step 8 (Optional/Highly recommended) – after fastening the screen to the header and door jambs, apply
roofing nails (not included) through the ends of the hook/loop strips and every 12-18 inches along the
length, to create a long term, permanent bond.
Step 9 – Insert a ¾ in. rod (3/4 inch plastic electrical conduit or galvanized pip recommended) into the
pouch sewn into the bottom of the screen to maintain desired position and shape of the screen when
rolled up.
Rolling up – For each side, pull the two cords simultaneously to the desired height.

storing.
