18. If you require beads in the panel, determine the spacing needed. For Example: a
12” wide panel with 2 beads centered on the panel would give you 3 equal spaces
or 12” divided by 3, which equals 4” from center to center of each bead. Hook the
end of your tape measure on the outside bottom corner of the female leg. Use a
magic marker or grease pencil to mark the 4” and 8” locations on the panel. You
now have 3 equal spaces. (Figure 55)
