Attaching an impact screen to a frame involves securing the screen using bungee cords or ball bungees.
Step-by-Step Guide to Attaching an Impact Screen
The following steps detail how to effectively attach an impact screen to its frame:
- Prepare the Screen and Frame:
- Ensure your impact screen and frame are ready for assembly.
- Check for any damage to the screen or frame.
- Position the Screen:
- Carefully position the impact screen within the frame.
- Align the screen so that it is centered within the frame for even tension.
- Attach Bungees:
- Using Grommets: If your screen has grommets, attach the bungee cords or ball bungees around the screen's perimeter, threading them through the grommets.
- Without Grommets: If there are no grommets, loop the bungees around the frame, making sure to create a secure connection.
- Even Spacing:
- Space the bungees evenly around the frame to distribute the tension and impact absorption uniformly.
- This prevents any one area from bearing too much stress.
- Adjust Tension:
- Adjust the tension of each bungee cord or ball bungee.
- The screen should be taut for a responsive hitting surface but not excessively tight to avoid damage.
- Final Check:
- Do a final check to make sure that the screen is properly secured and that the tension is even across all areas.
- Make any necessary adjustments before use.
Here's a summary in table format:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Preparation | Prepare the screen and frame, checking for any damage. |
| 2. Position | Center the screen within the frame. |
| 3. Attach Bungees | Thread bungees through grommets or loop them around the frame. |
| 4. Spacing | Space bungees evenly for balanced tension. |
| 5. Tension | Adjust bungee tension to create a taut, responsive surface. |
| 6. Final Check | Verify the screen's security and even tension; make adjustments as needed. |
By following these steps, you can effectively and safely attach your impact screen to its frame, ensuring optimal performance and longevity. The key is to distribute the tension evenly using bungees and make sure that the screen is securely attached for a safe and responsive surface. According to the provided reference, you should attach the bungee cords or ball bungees around the screen's perimeter, threading them through the grommets (if applicable) or looping them around the frame. Space the bungees evenly to distribute the tension and impact absorption. Adjust the bungee tension for a taut, responsive screen surface.
