Hurricane Brackets and Corner Braces

Each corner is supported by 3" corner brace. Anchor it to the base with the provided screws. Anchor 5 hurricane brackets flush with the edges of the base, leaving the front without one to allow for the opening. Very carefully, take your front piece and stand it up flush with the base. Using a regular pencil (carpenter pencils won't fit) draw through the corner bracket holes into the front. Drill holes with a 11/32" drill bit. Insert #8 32 X 3/4" screws from front into the bracket and secure. Finger tighten all bolts and then once you have the piece stabilized, then tighten with ratchet or hand ratchet.

Attach one side piece in the same manner, by marking holes, drilling, and bolting them together. Secure the side to the front with an additional hurricane bracket. Measure carefully; if you are a little off they will not fit snugly together and the gap will throw everything else askew!

Continue to the back piece and then the remaining side. Make sure to secure each piece to the base first and then the adjoining sides.
