Next step is to attach the sheer clamps to the side panels. These are stiff 1 inch x 1 inch x 15 feet long pieces of wood that are epoxied to the top of the side panels that allow you to attach the deck to the sides and then allow you to fasten deck hardware to the deck. It is a pretty complicated step that involved tapeing off the side panels so they don't stick together or get epoxy on the outside. Then we had to measure and mark where the sheer clamps line up on the side panels. Then we mixed the epoxy and carefully placed the sheer clamps on the sides and clamped them all together with lots of C clamps and PVC Clamps...lots. That was easier to say then it was to do.
