The only thing I would add is be very careful with the front corners. There isn't a lot of room to get the bottom middle most screws in. On both sides, I managed to pinch the fabric under the screw head, so when I opened the canvas after I was done, Rippppp. :>{ Takes away from the whole feeling of accomplishment. I think the top corners can also rip if you are not careful checking tension the first time. It would help to have someone open the canvas slowly while you look for tight spots.
