Patio Aluminum Screen Tightness

Anyone know of any tricks to put up 48" x 8' sections of aluminum screen and keep it tight. I dont have the screentight. What was the trick before screentight? I was thinking cut each section longer and then staple a board to the bottom and pull down as someone else above staples it in.. Any other suggestions?

i would not cut the screen but use thin pieces of wood and nail them to fasten the screen to the frame. the wood will act as a sandwich and help hold the screen. aluminium screen is harder
to work with then fiberglass.
