GETTING STARTED
Open all carton(s) containing hardware and remove all items.
Position the hardware on the floor under the opening. Next,
look in the box containing the curtain(s).
Allow the curtain(s) to reach room temperature
(above 50°F/10°C) before unfolding.
The width and height of the curtain will be listed on a tag
attached to the curtain.

ATTACHING THE TRACKS
For convenience and ease of attaching the tracks to the Track Connectors,
already in place on the rods (Step 3), disassemble your configuration into
manageable sections.
NOTE: The installer will need an assistant to mount your curtain(s).
TRACK CONFIGURATIONS

DESIGNING A PLAN
Of course, firmly tighten all nuts
once the entire assembly is in
place.
Splice
Connector
The design of your curtain assembly will be determined by the position of the roof
trusses or beams. How you attach the threaded rods to the trusses is your
decision; however, we recommend using Beam Clamps. Threaded rods can easily
be attached to the clamps and quickly adjusted for height requirements.
If the track is being placed into a Splice Connector,
loosen the 2 allen screws just one and a half turns,
insert the track and tighten the allen screws.
TIP: When inserting Track into a Splice Connector,
lightly clamp a pair of vice grips onto the Track
about 4” from the end. This should narrow the
Track allowing easier insertion.
Roof Trusses
Ideally there should be 3’ or less between
clamps with suspended threaded rods,
but the span between trusses could be
slightly greater than 3’.

To determine the length of the threaded rods
use the following formula:
Distance from Floor to Bottom of Truss or Beam
– Overall Assembly Height + 2”

= Length of Threaded Rods
Next, cut all the Threaded
Rods to the proper length.

includes the height

height of the

additional 1” to

show the overall
dimensions.
