  2. Cut out the corresponding plate (1 meter in length) according to the design size, and then install it on the column according to the requirements of the drawing (note the installation position and height).
  3. Be sure to maintain levelness during installation to ensure that it is perpendicular to the ground. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the flatness of each plate to avoid unevenness;
