Step - 1 - Attach CLIPS to Porch Frame
Mark clip positions around the frame keeping clips aligned for proper channel installation. Attach clips a maximum of 4" from corners and 14" - 16" apart using #10 x 1 1/2" stainless steel screws. |

Step - 2 - Attach FASTtrack™ CHANNEL to CLIPS
Cut FASTtrack channels to length and snap over clips using a rubber mallet, installing the vertical channels first followed by the horizontal channels. (NOTE: Install vertical post before installing the horizontals - Refer to Step 3 first) |
Step -3 - Creating POSTS by "Mating" FASTtrack™ CHANNELS
One of the unique features of FASTtrack channels is that the 1"x2" channels snap together to form a 2"x2" post or rail. Install vertical posts by attaching two clips stacked together in the desired location on both the top and bottom of the frame using #10 x 2" stainless steel screws and then snapping the two FASTtrack channels to the clip using a rubber mallet. |

Step - 4 - Install horizontal posts in a manner similar to step 3 using 3" screws to attach to the porch frame and #8 x 4 1/2" zinc plated screws with nylon nut to attach the rails to the vertical posts. (For attaching pickets, refer to the installation instructions included in the FASTtrack railing kit.) |
Step 5 - Roll SCREEN into FASTtrack™ CHANNEL Using the flat spline, Pro Rollerknife™ Screening Tool & fiberglass screen; Simply roll screen into the grooves located on either the interior or exterior of the porch.
