Wall bracing

Position the side and end wall angle bracing as shown in Pic B1, 2 & 3 and fasten to the inside face of the base rail and inside face
of the end hoop using one screw. The top end of the brace must stop short of the end hoop otherwise it will damage the end wall
covering.
TIPS & TRICKS: It can be helpful when you come to fitting the roof/side cover, to release one end of the sidewall bracing
temporarily. Then re-attach after the roof/side cover has been fitted. (This can assist in adding tension to the covering)
Note: End & Side wall angle brace may require subtle re-positioning or shortening if you have chosen an optional shelf unit.
