How do you attach this to porch frame? I just put in screen tight system with vinyl cap strips so I don't want to damage that. Does tape work?

Yes, as long as you use clear packing tape. It does weather eventually, but it is much better than duct tape which leaves yucky residue. Good luck.

My husband built separate frames out of cedar strips. He used a lot of small staples to attach the Flex-O-Glass to his new frames. He cautioned to work slowly to keep taut without over-stretching. He attached the frames to the exterior of our cedar screen porch with finishing screws. We installed this last October and have been amazed at how well it has held up. It has allowed us to spend time on our porch 10 months of the year---and from the interior no one can tell there is any film over screens. Highly recommend and cannot beat the cost!

My porch had wood screening so I had attached the Flex-O-Glass with wood 1/4" X 1" strips which held well with just staples. It worked awesome against the strongest winter winds off the lake. I don't know how tape would work but would suggest using the strongest you can find like a 2 to 4 mil 3" industrial tape, but you may still have an issue with the adhesive residue after you take it down in the spring.

Yes, I did it and it works great. I have a vinyl screen door, I screwed it in the bottom corner. I had to move 1 vinyl support piece over to support the last top corner screw, used L brackets to do that. You can do it, just put your mind to it. Good luck!

This does not have an adhesive side for directly applying to windows - the most common method is to stretch it over some sort of frame and mount the whole assembly. Thanks!

Place the film onto the screen and peel. It did come with tape for the side for placement, but I didn't use it.

I did not set posts. I built an arched frame over a trampoline and used it as a shade cover in that manner. I will tell you that the corners do hang out further than the center of the shade cloth and there is some stretch to the material in and of itself.Whatever the measurement is , I would allow an extra six inches in the pole settings and buy at least two adjustable straps to mount it with. You might want to check out Harbor Frieght. Also, a slight pitch will help you get leaves, etc off the top of the shade in a much more easy manner than a flat top. Good luck.

I purchased a roll of vinyl mesh screen(for a sun screen, not window screen) and I put the grommets along the top and tied them to my canopy on my deck to filter out the sun. Made them so I could roll them up. Worked very well and the grommets are real easy to use. Hope this helps.

I'm sure you could tape it to the window frame, but typically the reason to put this up is because of drafts around the window frames so just taping it to the window frame would not give the same insulation. Good luck!

I used staples to install. But you could use double sided tape. The staples worked great for me.

I use mounting tape and so far no issues. You have to do it right though. First, get 3M Outdoor Mounting Tape (red). Clean the metal plate and the surface you're sticking it to with rubbing alcohol and wait an hour. The back plate will fit TWO strips of the tape side-by-side if you stretch it a little. Get all the tape you can on there. Press the plate firmly into the wall for thirty seconds to a minute and don't hang anything from it for an hour. If you do all that you SHOULD be OK. Again, I haven't had problems, but... it definitely is a risk.

Our is the same way, we decided to buy the "extreme Velcro" and cut it into pieces. We used the velcro to adhere to around the door frame and house and it's worked like a charm. We ended up doing this on two doors, and it works so well, we left if up over thew winter. We only have to replace one piece of velcro that came off the house (adhesive wore off). By far the best solution. The velcro is here: VELCRO - Industrial Strength - Extreme - 4" x 1" Strips, 10 Sets - Titanium

I didn't have frames either. I stuck it to the walls almost a year ago and they are still there. I used them for saving air conditioning costs also. Can't imagine why the tape wouldn't stick to aluminum.

We use it on our porch that is enclosed with plastic film windows. Works great but it is recommended that you crack a few windows to get some fresh air if room is tightly sealed. We normally just open the door to the house after the porch gets warm.

Double stick tape will work. However, for a more permanent installation, mounting with screws is preferred.

We used clips to hold the canopy up, but it wasnt failproof. I ended up cutting the canopy off completely even though now i wont be able to use it outside now.

I used a piece of tape. If your tape bleeds too much light, put a piece of foil in between. Easy enough

If you can have a way to connect to anything above the screen then you can use the included I-bolts at the right and left of each top corner and hang the screen at any height. That's what I do for my outside use.

I screwed it into the screened in porch but it comes with 2 ways , you can screw it in or use the supplied stick and hold,hook and loop way.
