POST AND FRAME RAILS
ScreenRail Post and Frame Rails Consist of: Post, Post Mount with Screws, Rail
with Cover, Rail Mount with Cover and Screws. (Illustrations P1 and P2.)
Profile Shapes
Step 1: Determine spacing
of vertical posts to match the widths desired for installing screen you will
use. An equal (or near equal) spacing of posts will give your room a more
esthetically pleasing appearance. Narrower widths of screen are easier to
install and are affected less by wind than wide screen widths. (NOTE: Between
post spacing should be 6” less than screen width.)
Step 2: Screen retention grooves (Illustration P1) are needed at all vertical
and horizontal perimeters that are to be screened in. Screen retention grooves
must always be on the side the screen is to be attached. (NOTE: Install all
vertical posts and rails prior to installing horizontal rails.)
Step 3: Measure height for posts. Cut post 1/2” shorter to allow for a post
mount at each end.
Step 4: Attach post mounts (Illustration P3) with #14 x 1-3/4” screws
(provided) or appropriate fastener for the surface to be attached to.
(Concrete anchors, Tapcons, etc.)
NOTE: Screw hole has to be on side of post with screen retention grooves.
Step 5: Cut rail to desired length.
(Illustration P4.) Attach rails with appropriate stainless steel fasteners 16”
on center. 
Step 6: Cut rail covers
to the same length as the rail. (Hint: Slide one side of the cover into the
retaining slot and snap cover on by starting at one end and working toward the
other end. Snap cover onto rail.) (Illustration P5.)
Step 7: Cut horizontal to desired length. (Illustration 6.)
Option A: Surface Mount Rails
Cut the rail to the exact length between vertical rails or posts positioned in
previous steps. Attach rails with appropriate stainless steel fasteners 16” on
center.
Option B: Rail Mounts
Cut the rail 1/4” shorter per mount (total 1/2” for 2 mounts) than the
distance measured between the vertical rails or posts. Attach rails with
appropriate stainless steel fasteners 16” on center.
Step 8: Cut screen rail covers to the exact length of the rails and
snap them onto the rail. Where mounts areused, cut the cover retainehooks off.
