Base Trim 

1.

 

You will now install your base trim which will sit on the ground with the 

long side up putting the 

screw at the bottom securing it with the ground steaks

. These trim pieces are specifically for 

the inwall part because they are measured to fit with the door opening.  

2.

 

You will do this for the back wall as well NOT THE SIDE WALLS.
