nail, or Topcon system (to attach rails), desk screws, and tapered drill bit with countersink
attachment
1) Attach 2x4 near top and bottom of wall utilizing either your PAT, or Topcon system. Make sure
the horizontal rail is level and flush with the wall (remove excess mortar prior to installation
2) Have helper hold flattened bamboo roll against horizontal rails. Pre-drill the bamboo poles with
a drill bit slightly smaller than the diameter of the deck screw (this protects the bamboo from
