I got detailed instructions with my screen purchased from GoWesty a few years ago. I could not have properly installed it without instructions.  I believe the screens are identical, from the same maker.  That said, the screen does not fit perfectly, either because it is simply impossible for it to do so or because my installation skills are not up to those of GoWesty technicians.  The edge puckers around curves and at corners, and where the useless vent above the door is.  Consequently, insects do get in.  I solved part of the problem, but created another, by replacing the zipper down the middle with velcro and stitching the two halves together at the top.  I am considering using velcro instead of the snaps to fasten the screen to the bulkhead.  Has anyone done that?
