AMMO CAN DRAIN HOLES
(TODRILL ORNOTTODRILL.)
• Do you use a tonneau or shell over your DECKED system?
There is no need to drill holes.
• Does your DECKED system live outside?
The ammo cans will get water in them. You’ll need to drill holes in the ammo cans.
There are two dimples in the bottom of each ammo can. Drill a 1/2” hole at each dimple. A smaller hole
will get clogged.
