Howie's Tips

1. Once your Roof is constructed, create drainage (drill holes) in wood marked 'A' in Roof Plans and on bottom of the Planters.
2. When attaching the FLEX•fence ® brackets onto the rails allow for the brackets to move freely (swivel). Do not over tighten!
3. When sizing FLEX•fence ® always cut the rails and operating bar with hand tools and never with power tools.
4. Always wear protective goggles.
