1. A method for forming a screening assembly, comprising:
providing a support member comprising:
a flow through area surrounded by front and rear edges and first and second side edges of the support member, wherein a plurality of flow through apertures are located in the flow through area, each flow through aperture passing though the support member from a top surface to a bottom surface of the flow through area;
a first plurality of mounting apertures located on the first side edge of the support member, each of the first plurality of mounting apertures extending inward from the first side edge towards a centerline of the support member and including at least one compression surface;
a second plurality of mounting apertures located on the second side edge of the support member, each of the second plurality of mounting apertures extending inward from the second side edge towards the centerline of the support member and including at least one compression surface; and
first and second upwardly extending flanges that extend upward from the first and second side edges, respectively, of the support member; and
attaching a screening surface to the top surface of the flow through area to form the screening assembly.
