Figure 59.—Attachment of wall screens:

a, view from inside house. The two sennit cords are first tied to the wall plate (1) by the usual running noose commencement (2). The top sheet of the set always has the midrib edge (3) upwards. The braid is passed around the midrib from without in and then tied to its loop around the wall plate by two half hitches which form a clove hitch (4). The figure shows the braid loose, but in actual practice all loops are drawn taut, b, With both cords (5) tied, the top sheet is securely slung where the overlap on the two wall posts (6) is seen. The succeeding sheets are attached with their braided edges (7) upwards. The two cords (5) are brought down over the inner surface of the top sheet, passed behind the braided upper edge (7) of the second sheet, and brought through it below the braids from without inwards. The sheet is adjusted to slightly overlap the lower edge of the top sheet which is to the outside of it. The cords are pulled taut to this position and held against the upper edge of the second sheet by the left hand. c, The right hand passes the braid around its standing part from right; to left behind it, and passes it through the loop formed. The knots are drawn taut, and the sheet secured as in (b). The other sheets are attached in the same way. A fourth sheet so attached is shown in the figure. The cord (8) is tied to the wall plate above the middle of the sheet. It is passed outwards above the top sheet so that it hangs down behind the sheets.
