Troubleshooting
Screening is still sagging.
Ensure mounting plates are spaced closely enough and the wire is pulled taut during installation. Consider adding more fixing points.
Wire is difficult to secure.
Twist the wire ends tightly together or use a small tool to help grip and secure the wire. Ensure the wire is threaded correctly through the plate holes.
Plates are not holding securely.
Make sure the plates are attached to a stable support structure. If attaching to a flexible material, reinforce the attachment point.
