      Answer This Question

      A:  Yes, you should not need to replace any caps or bases unless they become damaged. Please remember to cut away ALL excess screening as it can cause the caps to not snap or stay on if the legs cannot snap into place over the excess screening.

          Q:can i paint the cap
          by|Apr 4, 2022

          Answer This Question

          A:  The Screen Tight caps can be painted. The caps needed to be cleaned with denatured alcohol and painted with a latex paint. We don't recommend dark colors as the UV rays can be harsh on vinyl.

          by|Apr 5, 2022

            A:  Yes you can. But it is best to spray paint it.
