Installing T-Posts
Locate and identify the top and
bottom labeled t-post. Line up
the pre-drilled holes with the top
and bottom frame and secure with
screws provided.
All L Frame T-Post installations are
alike.
It is best to pre-drill the top left
and right frame if you are mounting
with screws. It is recommended to
pre-drill right above, or below the
hinge location (within a ¼”), and as
far away from any miter edges as
possible.
NOTE: If not installing a T-POST skip to Leveling the Frame.
