1. Start the installation by locating and marking the studs on the window wall.

5. Install the first half of the track. Mark a level line for both tracks about two inches above where you want the plywood panels to hang. Holding the first track on the line, lag bolt the track brackets into the studs.

6. Hang both of the plywood panels by inserting the trucks into the first piece of track.

7. Install the second half of the track (figure E). Line up this track with the first half, and then lag bolt it into place.

8. Roll the panels into the center.

9. Line up the artwork so that the two canvases meet in the center (figure F). Hang the artwork using picture wire and double sided adhesive pads.
