In this segment we are going to talk about the amount of pressure that you need to apply. You don't want to press too hard on the screen enclosure because if you pop one of the screens out you would be needing to call a repair specialist to replace the screen. So basically you just want to rest the pool sweep on top of the screen. It is almost is like a lifting motion. Where you are not pushing down the whole time, you are almost trying to lift some of those pine needles out of there. Of course the ones that are near the edge, you can reach out and hand pick them. Hand pull through the screen to at least clear out the closest area adjacent to their house. These you just try to hold on to our throw to the garbage can for your clean up. These braces are only here basically for the structure to hold the screen. That is not an area that you need to be walking on. There is always going to be some type of debris. If you have trees you are going to have debris on the pool enclosure. If you want it to look nice most of the time, from time to time every couple of months you definitely want to get up and clean as much of that stuff off. Because once you start accumulating a certain amount of pine needles they actually trap the other pine needles that are trying to blow across this screen. You can see even some of the debris that I'm sweeping off of here is getting trapped by the next pine needles that are on the next square. But all in all from right across the top here. There is very few pine needles left in the little path that we have already swept.
