  4. Panel assembly setup
    Now that your jig is assembled lay it down on a flat sturdy surface.
  5. Assemble the panel
    Lay 3 Backer Rails with 2 x 4 inserts on the jig as shown in the preious diagram. Attach the pickets to the Backer rail per the normal composite fencing assembly instructions. Note: To keep the backer rails from moving while attaching the pickets you can clamp the backer rails to the 2 x 4's on each end. Be sure to keep clamp jaws below the the top surface of the backer rails so it will not interfere with with the assembly of the panel.
