-
Continue to apply plastic washers and concrete nails along the body of the Drainage Membrane in criss-cross pattern. Washers should be 24 inches apart horizontally.

For corners: wrap tightly around corner and apply washer 6 inches away from corner.
-
For windows: Cut membrane to the shape of the opening leaving 4 inches away from opening on all sides.

Once washers are installed, apply finishing strip with nails to the top and ends of the membrane.
