Instructions:
1. Determine location of 4"x4" posts. Have no more than 7'6" be-
tween posts.
2. Set posts 2' deep in concrete. Make sure they are properly
aligned, spaced and plumbed.
3. Cut a 2" x 4" rail to fit between the tops of the first two posts
and install flush with the tops of the posts using fence brackets.
4. Measure down from the top of the posts 5'9" and mark. Install
fence brackets above these marks.
5. Cut a 2" x 4" rail to fit into these lower brackets but do not nail
in place.
6. Cut a length of Sun Screen Fabric 4" longer than the distance
between the posts (7' - 10' in our example).
7. Fasten one 7' - 10' side to the bottom edge of the bottom
2" x 4" rail using Wood Fasteners. The fabric should extend
2" beyond the ends of the rail.
8. Install the bottom 2" x 4" rail and nail in place.
9. Stretch the Sun Screen Fabric up over the top rail and fasten
to the top edge with Wood Fasteners.
10. Cut a 1" x 6" cap to extend to the center of the post. All splices
should be on top of the posts. Nail to posts and top rail.
11. Cut 1" x 2" furring strips between the rails. Fold Sun Screen
Fabric under 1" x 2" and nail to post.
12. Trim off excess Sun Screen Fabric with utility knife.
