Step 2: Arm Fabrication

MODEL BG770 (SINGLE ARM)

If you are making the arm yourself, refer to Figure 5 and its suggestions for the single arm design.

1Drill four 1/2" diameter holes using the arm clamp as a template. Tapering the wood as shown helps reduce the weight and allows you to reduce any warping common with long lengths of lumber.

2Finish arm with exterior grade paint and stripe with paint or adhesive backed tape as required.
