Ron's mention of placing the snaps where you want is what I liked about
installing one of these that came from BD.As long as you have a good supply
of snaps you can create a real snug fit for the small no-seeums, skeedows
that pester us in the spring.
Works great. Convenient to use, put on, take off, etc.
