    Best way to attach screen to enclosure

    GungHoGolf has an excellent DIY guide which explains using a combination of tarp clips and tube clips to attach the screen to an enclosure. I'm curious why a combination is preferred vs using just tarp clips or just tube clips. Also, is this combination method preferred over wrapping the material around the EMT as demonstrated in this video? Thank you.

    I had some sew a pocket all around edges then put in tent poles with little V cut outs to connect bungee chords. The poles distribute the torque better so no wrinkles.

    A lot of work though.

      I went with grommets all around at 1' increments, this way I can adjust as needed. I like this way as if it's a little too tight or loose you can adjust the bungee. This seems to be a personal choice though as if you do enough research you realize it's done a few different ways, none necessarily any better than the other. Obviously a lot is dictated by your screen, did you order raw, hemmed, with/without grommets, etc.

        I use both grommets and Tarp clips. My screen came with grommets every foot or so, just added a few tarp clips where I needed to add tension (mostly near the bottom). Obviously bungees to connect both to the wooden frame where I used a eye hook anywhere I need a connection. Worked well.
