How Many Kits Do I Need?

To determine the number of SHADE-MAX kits required:

There are 2 types of kits:

• "L" Kits for screen edges     

  •  Typical Single Window Screen

  • 1 L Kit = 4 brackets, grabbers and 8 screws

• "T" Kits for adjacent screens

  • Screens with edges that touch

  • 1 T Kit = 2 brackets, grabbers and 6 screws

How many SHADE-MAX kits do I need?

    Follow these simple rules:

• Every screen requires at least 1 SHADE-MAX “L” kit regardless of size.

• One SHADE-MAX bracket should be mounted approximately 1 ft from every screen corner.

• Any screen span greater than 3 ft requires another SHADE-MAX bracket (See examples below)

• If you have screens that are adjacent, consider using the “T” configuration for neater installation

Examples and a view of each type of Bracket with the Shade Grabber(s) and screws are below:
