When is the best time to fit a new enclosure ?

Hello and thank you for this website. Thanks for all the forums and information. We are making a new house boat enclosure and I have heard so many opinions from other people I'm more confused than ever LOL We have been told to not try and final fit it if it's too hot or too cold or if the sun is on it and so on and so on. So, my question is when is the best time to final fit it for the final snap locations and how tight or loose should we snap it? I was told above 40 and below 90 was a good range, is that correct? We have it all done but the bottom snaps. We did make the panels to zip together a little loose to avoid the in evadible shrinkage, do we do the same for the snaps? Thanks so much for any and all feedback on this.
