end ladder. The end with the larger gap is the top of your rack. Attach a standard 8 column connector to the top
and bottom of your rack using the screws provided. Make sure the connectors are flush with the top and bottom
of your rack. (figure 1)

nailer to attach the connector to the two end ladders and one middle ladder. (figure B)
For a professional installation, secure the connectors using a finish nail gun to drive a nail through the connector
into each vertical ladder. If you do not have a finish nail gun, drive one of the provided finish nails into each
vertical ladder until it is flush. Then, countersink the nail using a nail setter until the head of the nail is about
1/16" below the surface of the wood. (figure C)
