Five steps to assemble Guard

Step 1: Lay Out the Frames

Before you measure the width and height of your window, it’s important to check the recess depth to ensure there’s enough space for the Guard to fit inside.

  • Unpack all parts: Lay out the upper frame, lower frame, and side frames on a clean, flat surface.
  • Position the Upper and Lower Frames: Place the upper and lower frames parallel to each other on a horizontal surface.
  • Position the Fabric Frame: Place the fabric frame on the right side.

Step 2: Detach the Side Frame

Separate the side frame from the fabric frame and place it on the left side.

Step 3: Remove the Screws

Remove the 4 screws from the fabric and the side frame.

Step 4: Connect the Frames

Connect all of the frames together by connecting the fabric and the side frame with the upper and lower frames.

Step 5: Insert the Screws

Put all 4 screws back in by inserting them through the holes of the connected frames. Ensure each screw passes through both frames to secure the connection, then tighten them securely to maintain a stable structure.
