It was easy to install. I just drilled out some holes to slip the zipties through... And I was done.
I think it turned out pretty good!

If your wondering...Lowes had the sheets of aluminum near the storm doors and railings...near the back of store, on the end of an isle. If you find the diamond plated metal...your in the right place.

Purchased two off ebay these last week arrived in two days. Quality of the powder coat finish is fantastic. Have not installed yet but comes with alcohol swabs, zip ties and mounting blocks. Looks like same install method you all mention here. I will be epoxying these down. Cheers
