If you wish to not mount dish on your home you can also go another route. Most satellite dish providers have tripod stands for you. This is a great alternative if your apartment or condo complex doesn't allow you to nail anything to their exterior walls.

One downfall with tripod is it can be very finicky. Make sure you put tripod and satellite dish in an area away from people and dogs or any animal of either species for that matter.

I have had some problems with guests bumping and every so gently tapping tripod and TV goes blank..."Looking for signal" is what you'll see on your television. Even slightest nudge could result in you jumping out of bed in your pajamas and slightly tapping satellite dish until signal is received again.

What's funny about that is slightest tap can effect signal its receiving, but rain, snow nor wind won't usually effect signal...go figure?

Once you have cloth secured you will need to purchase a cheap screen roller from hardware store. One that has a metal wheel is best. Gently start rolling cloth into screen frame at one of vertical sides and use use roller to push in spline all way up screen channel.

When you come to a corner you will have to remove small piece of spline used to hold cloth in. and re roll new spline in and around corner using screwdriver blade to push into corner. Go slowly and carefully !, if you rip screen you will have to start from beginnning again !

As you continue rolling in spline across top of frame, have someone support back of frame with their hand, to prevent pressure on glass window above. Continue rolling in spline and then just cut away excess screen with a utility knife. You are done !

Many screens can be repaired in place in this manner, and it saves a trip to glass shop and all fuss of trying to get screen in and out. You wont have to put up with that unsightly hole in screen in front door of your house any longer !
