How easily is this screen disassembled? I want it for my apartment but will only be there for 8 months.

Stuart, I am glad you asked and can certainly assist you with this question. The screen has 4 screws per joint. Assembly and dis-assembly is quite easy. Be sure not to strip the screws though. The screws feel as if they are aluminum and easy to strip. Make sure that you roll up your screen when packing it after dis-assembly. If you fold the screen you will end up with undesirable square lines throughout your screen. The screen will be shipping in a plastic tube that i would recommend keeping for this purpose. The plastic clips that hold the screen in place after stretching also come out easily with a flat head screw driver. Again like anything don't use to much force or the clips will break. I hope this has been helpful for you. If you have any further question i would recommend contacting the manufacture directly at their website. They do offer a livechat option and they will be glad to assist you with any and all your questions. http://www.elitescreens.com/index.php/contact-us/contact-list - Chat is located right side middle of the screen.

Removing the screen material from the frame itself should not be a big deal. It only requires popping out the clips that are holding down the screen material to the frame. As for taking apart the frame itself, I can see a potential problem. Because the pieces are so well constructed they fit very tight together. not sure how easily it would be to take them apart. I would say breaking it down to two pieces should not be a problem, anymore than that and not ruining the frame would take a lot of time.

Yes this would be perfect i would recommend that you have the exact screwdrivers for the screws i made a mistake by buying the screen and i wasnt ready to fix it completely but it is fixed now i uses a video on youtube (highly recommended) and you should be good to go.

The privacy screen is sewn around the edges & will unraval if you cut it. If you order a 10ft. screen you can fold 2ft. of it over & just zip tie it to make it 8ft tall. I had to fold the screen that I bought to make it the length that I needed & it works well. Also if you fold it over, it will block out almost everything.

The LCD screen is replaceable but you would have to heat the screen up with like a hair dryer because of the adhesive. I only paid $85 for a whole screen glass and LCD. got online and loomed up how to do it. Its not that hard except u have to have a size 3 torx bit (6-point screwdriver) I had to order it online as well. But it'd way cheaper than having g to pay $150 for a repairman.

You can remove the screen from the doorway in winter or when bringing large furniture through the doorway, by unhooking the velco at the top and sides and put it back up easily next summer. I had the other TV one and I tried bring large items through the screen without removing it and tore the screen at the top of the doorway. Recommend removing the screen whenever necessary.

Yes, it is one complete assembly. So, even if it looks like the "screen" isn't exactly broken, it is necessary to replace.

It was super easy, only two different types of bolts and the middle slats have a sweet plastic clip design that makes disassembly easy as well. I used a drill to speed up the process and had it together in about 1 beer, so not too bad :) But seriously, if you have ever assembled a coffee table or shelf you are qualified to build this frame. Hope this was helpfull lol

The screen is easily removable for cleaning. You lift up on the white knob and the front cover and the screen come off. You may then wipe the lint from the screen and replace the screen and cover into the box. You can do this with one hand after a few tries.

No, not as it is. You would have to use a wire cutter and cut a piece of the frame and the wire screen. It should still be sturdy enough. I would think cutting it would be the main problem, end up mangling it up if you don't have a good wire cutter.

you do not have to remove your screen. There is an adjustable flange on top of the unit for the bottom of the window to fit in. so you can adjust accordanly.

It is not difficult to disassemble it but it does take a little time. You just need to make sure that you don't lies or break the connectors.

Yes, the screen can be removed. Just keep in mind that it comes in four sections so once it's assembled it can't really be "folded" without disassembly.

It is not difficult, just mildly time consuming. Took me about 2 hours but I did it incorrectly. Pay special attention to the directions in the beginning because you have to start with a particular panel on a particular edge of the side. From there it is a breeze.

The screen it self is held in place by sticky tape or you can use glue. If you search YouTube for the product you can see everything that it comes with. It took me about 30 min to replace the screen.

Just to transport, I flip the lid upside down under the flipped base and put the screen next to it in the truck bed. You could take the legs off, but you'd basically be dis-assembling it. Its up to you how far you want to break it down.

It is a great screen, but I wouldn't recommend it , if you are planning on transferring it from one to another The attachments are not that strong. I finally glued mine on.
