8. Install the Staves
Continue to install and align the two ends of the staves onto the front wall panel and
acrylic rear wall working your way upward. Carefully and accurately place them onto
the front wall panel and acrylic rear wall. Use the leveler and mallet to make sure that
each stave is placed level and straight. Do not allow excessive gaps in between the
staves. Attach the stave using the provided stainless steel nails (on the front wall only)
from the exterior starting from the 9
th
stave (not counting the first installed stave) in
every other
stave through the 21
st
stave.
From the 21
st
stave, do not nail in any
additional staves.
The nails are used to mount and keep the staves aligned and
straight. See figure 8.
