It should be 1x3 inches (2. 54x7. 62 cm) or 2x3 inches (5. 08x7. 62 cm). It should be 22 inches (55. 88 cm) long. Going from left to right with the board laying horizontally, mark lines at the 2 inch (5. 08 cm) mark, the 7. 25 inch (18. 42 cm) mark, the 12. 5 inch (31. 75 cm) mark, and the 17. 75 inch (45. 09 cm) mark. Use a marker or a pencil. Mark 2 dots on each line that are evenly spaced.
Each section should be 14 inches (35. 56 cm) long.
Each should be bent so that each side is 7 inches (17. 78 cm) long. The gap between each side should be 3 inches (7. 62 cm) long. Each wire should resemble a “V” when you are finished.
Attach the center (bent portion) of each wire to the dotted areas of the board using screws and washers. When finished, each v-shaped wire should extend outward from the board.
Use the remaining portion of the wire for this. The bent portion of the v-shaped wires should be intersected once each. The wires should not touch each other. Be sure that at least 1 of the wires that you weave is insulated. Vinyl insulation will work well. When finished, the wires should resemble 2 “X” shapes that connect the first and second and the third and fourth sets of v-shaped wires, respectively. Two horizontal lines should connect the “X” designs between the second and third sets of v-shaped wires.
Two reflectors should be evenly spaced on the back of the board. Each reflector should be 15x9 inches (38. 1x22. 86 cm). Use screws to complete this task. The reflectors should not touch the v-shaped wires.
