When installing the P-Bumper (L) ensure the start and end of each piece is appproximately positioned at the

centre of the trusses as shown above. This method will make it more convenient for mounting and hiding

seams for heaxagon accessories such as the ladders.

Continue attaching P-bumpers(L) as done in Steps

43 and 44 around hexagon, butting each end up to

another. PLEASE NOTE: There may be a small gap

between the rst and last bumper/trim when nished.
