When the screen was up, I need to make the edges neater where the staples were to give a more professional finish. My tutor and I talked about putting a trim on the corners or using gum strip and then painting it white. I only wanted to use trim if Bill (wood-work technician) had anything thin enough but unfortunately, he didn't. In spite of this, I think the gum strip worked well, and especially if it is going to be painted.

Putting the screen up
In order to put the screen up, I had to have a tutor help me because the screen needed to be kept tight for it to be smooth. We stapled the screen down at the sides onto the wood and then cut the excess material off.
