Here the pilot hole for the screw eye is being drilled. Use a bit that is small enough so the threads still bite into the wood. But large enough so the wood won't split when you screw it. You can practice on a scrap of wood if you aren't sure of what size bit to use. I used a 5/32" drill bit.

After drilling a pilot hole you can screw them in by hand, or insert a screwdriver through the hole for more leverage.
|
Each vertical riser fits in a corner.
|
This is a bungie ball. They are great for securing tarps to domes too!
|
Insert the bungie ball through the screw eye like this.
|
Wrap it around the vertical riser enough times so it needs to be streached to reach the ball.
|
Put the free end over the ball.
|
I attached an extra screw eye so that I could attach a bungie cord to it. The other end of the bungie cord secures the end of the rope from which the shower hangs.
|
I tied a loop in the rope which holds the shower, cliped on a metal loop. The rope was way too long, so I wraped it in a loop over the shower gantry and back down to the bungie cord.
|
Here the shower is hanging from the top of the gantry.
