Troubleshooting

Screen does not fit the frame.

Verify that you are using the correct California Sunbounce Probounce Frame model and that the screen is oriented correctly. Check for any obstructions on the frame or screen attachment points.

Light diffusion is not as expected.

Ensure the screen is taut and properly secured to the frame. Confirm that the light source is directly behind the screen for optimal diffusion.

Screen has persistent creases.

Hang the screen in a warm, sunny spot for a few hours, ensuring it is taut. Alternatively, gently steam the creases from a distance, taking care not to overheat the material.
