Lay one of the 2” x 6” header boards flat on your work sur-
face, with the 12 small pilot holes facing up and the shorter
side toward you.
STEP 1
A T T A C H S E C O N D H E A D E R
Turn the assembly over and attach the second header following the same method as the first. Take special care to:
•
Make sure the inside edge of the panel (the edge with the single hole 12” from the top of the post) is facing in-
ward.
•
Be careful to use the matching pair of screw holes to give you the opening width you have selected.
STEP 2
Place one of the two lattice side panels on its edge, with the
upper end (2 screw holes, closely spaced) toward the header
board and the inside edge of the side post (single screw hole
about 12” from the top) toward the center of the header board.
Drive one of the 2 1/2” screws through the top hole in
the bottom side post, holding the frame up a bit so that
the point of the screw stick through about 1/2” inch.
Choose the pair of pilot holes in the header for the width
of opening you prefer.
Outside Holes - for a 48 ½” width opening
Center Holes - for a 42 ½” width opening
Inside Holes - for a 36 ½” width opening
Place the top edge of the frame over the header board
with the point of the screw lined up with the upper pilot
hole of the pair you have selected. When you are sure
that the screw point is properly aligned, drive it firmly
into the header.
NOTE: Do not drive in the second screw at this time.
IMPORTANT: It is possible to drive a screw into the
wood without using a pilot hole. So, it is critical that
you line up the screw with the pilot hole before you
drive in the screw.
