Sorry - this is missing since it´s a bit of an artistic act to fix the fabric with one hand and taking a picture of it with the other LOL
but I tried to make some pictures for you...arrrgh

First I fix the frame with screws on the wall and adjust balance and position.

Then I simply press the fabric into the sides of the frame.
Since the mineral wool allready has a bit of tension from the fixed wood rear wall it easily fits.
I found that ROCKWOOL is even denser than Ursa wool and gives the fabric even more tension to fit.

This method has the advantage that

1, No particles of the mineral wool can escape (neither from front NOR from back - a big one - mineral wool particles are PITA for gear AND health) and
2, If you are tired of the colour after some time you easily can applicate some different fabric without having to remove the frame from the wall.
