Find a nice area to setup your screen. Grass works great also, just make sure sticks and any pointy sharp objects are cleared for assembly and use.

Layout all the parts.

Notice where the snaps are. Unfold the frame with the snaps up. For the STO-169180 unfold the frame as shown in the next steps. Be careful to support the hinges when unfolding the frame. DO NOT cause AWKWARD pressure to the hinges as it can break a hinge. If you ever do break a hinge, please contact us. Hinges are very easy to replace with a hinge kit.

Snaps are up and the height of the screen is set.

Open up the width of the screen.

Lock all of the hinges into place.

If ever a hinge does not lock into place. Simply apply some lubricant (such as WD40) to the hinge as shown and wipe away the excess.

After the hinges are locked into place, secure the corners as shown on all four corners.

Remove the screen from the bag and unfold it preparing it to be snapped to the frame.

Begin by snapping the 3 corner snaps on each side of the screen and frame. Do not snap each snap as you go along because it will be hard to stretch the screen to the frame. When removing snaps, remove one snap at a time as you put the screen to the frame. Do not stand in the corner and whip the screen material off of the frame as this can damage snaps. A snap can be replaced in 10 seconds if you destroy a snap. We recommend this kit click here. Here is a video showing how.

Begin by snapping the 3 corner snaps on each side of the screen and frame. Do not snap each snap as you go along because it will be hard to stretch the screen to the frame.

Tip: Undo the corner hinge, and one of the hinges that can fold into the center of the frame. (This would be a top or bottom hinge for the STO-169180) Snap on the 3 snaps, then lock the hinge and the corner hinge again by reaching under the material.

Now continue around the frame snapping each snap into place.

Now insert the legs into both sides the frame as shown with the groove up.

Secure both legs in place with the included thumb bolts and tighten.

Now lift the front foot on both legs and lock the hinge into place.

For the STO-169180, put the eye bolts and rope on the frame top before standing it. You will need the rope and eye bolt to stabilize the frame and make the screen stand perfectly upright.

Now the screen is ready to stand. DO NOT use the screen when there is wind. The screen will act as a giant sail as wind is very powerful it can damage the frame and cause bodily harm. If you do need extra support use the included rope and stakes.

Lock the back feet into place by locking the 90 degree hinge.

Tip: The STO-169180 is huge. Because of the size, most likely you will need to use the eye bolts and ropes to help stabilize the screen frame. Pull the rope to direct the frame to the position you want it in. This will help hold the frame straight up vertically.

Tip: You can turn the black backing towards the sun to remove any fold marks in the material. For best results, leave the material in the sun for 30 minutes then move the material to a cool area. Then back into the sun then back into a cool area. As the material heats and cools it can return to its flat memory. You can roll the material next time if the fold marks bother you.

Stakes are included for a more secure tie down. Tip: You can also use the stake and rope to make the screen stand up perfectly upright by adjusting the pull of the rope. Do Not use the screen if windy. This can cause damage to the screen, surrounding property or injure someone.

A snap can be replaced in 10 seconds if you destroy a snap. We recommend this kit click here. Snap kit 1267. This includes the snaps for the material and the other screw end that attaches to the frame. Here is a video on how to replace snaps.

Now continue unsnapping the screen one snap at a time.

Either fold the frame or material next. We chose to fold the material.

Fold the material corner to corner and make sure it is flat.

Fold the material again and make sure the material stops at the pockets and snaps. DO NOT overlap the pockets and snaps.

Continue folding stopping before the snaps and pockets.

Now fold the material in a Z shape. With the Z shape, the material viewing surface is not over the pockets and snaps. The Z shape also helps the material fit easily into the packaging.

Hold the material to help if fold down.

Notice how the material is in a Z shape. Notice how the viewing surface material does not overlap the pockets or the snaps.

Put the material in the bag and lock the hook and loop.

Put the material aside and fold the frame.
