BASIC INSTALLATION
3. INSTALLING THE TREX
RAINESCAPE TROUGHS
NOTE: If installing when temperatures
fluctuate drastically, be sure to acclimate
trough material before installing.
Especially if you are using black.
Here are two ways.
»
Unroll trough material, giving plastic time to relax
and acclimate to outdoor temperatures.
»
Roll trough material back up, smooth/shiny side
in to ease install.
»
When working with the Trex RainEscape trough
material, ensure that the smooth/shiny side
always faces up.
