    • Assembly of a Regular Wraparound section:
    • Use the 5 supplied eyebolts
    • No tools required

    • Pass the red bungee cord through each eyebolt to prevent the eyebolts from spinning out over time
    • When storing the section as a flat panel, connect the 5 loose eyebolts to the cable hook to prevent their loss
