Stretch a rubberband from jaw tip to jaw tip this will help eliminate bubbles over pan

Well, the pipe dream set did the trick. Double front paw catch. The flat set 30 yds down the fence had scratch marks in the waxed dirt. I'm beginning to think my waxed dirt has an odor. Thx for the advice guys!

Here's what works for me - fold flaps over(do not crease) and slide under pan, all edges are protected. Works fox to yotes.

Fiberglass screen against sheet of paper for visibility.

Center square is pan size +1" each side. Flaps are long enough to fold over stay folded under pan, tapered to make corners easier. 8 of 10 times screen is reusable but I wash them before reusing them on canines(just in case). I have plexiglass glass templates(for large pans #3 and over, #2 and under) that I lay atop several full size squares(pan plus flaps) and then cut them shape w/SHARP carpet knife. Easy Peasy. I get all the screen I can use all but free from a window repair shop.

Thx for sharing Drakej. So when you fold those tabs downward do they kinda form a box that extends downward toward the ground to keep the dirt out?

Correct, they make a rolled barrier each side. I fold them all over pinching them in the center than slide under pan with loose jaw up, flaps under pan with the rolled edge of the top flap up. "Springiness" of screen holds it in place. All air space under pan. At least for #3's and smaller(have never set anything larger dry).
