HOWIE’S TIPS
- Cut one kit of FLEXfence rails into 2 sections each measuring 22″ (Make the first cut 3″ from 1st pre-punched hole).
- When sizing FLEXfence always cut the rails and operating bar with hand tools and never with power tools.
- When attaching the FLEXfence brackets onto the rails allow for the brackets to move freely (swivel). Do not over tighten!
- Always wear protective goggles.
