OTP and Proud Post: Cut Down Panel to Correct Length
• To insure both ends of the panel look the same, divide the bracket to bracket measurement by 2 to find half of the panel
length.
• From the center of the panel measure out half of the length each direction.
• Mark these locations with a paint pen or other tool on the top and bottom rails.
Example: 78 / 2 = 39. Measure out 39” from the center point in both directions.
After cutting panel,
file cut edges smooth
*Top rail cover can slide*
Make sure the cover lines
up with the end of the rail
before cutting down the panel
