Derby Stall Installation Instructions
Installation: Decide where the feed opening is going to be located. Cut two stall grill bars to the desired length (bars cut to 22” will give you approximately a 12” opening). Slide the feed opening plate over the two outer bars of the opening. Let the feed opening plate rest on the bottom grill channel. Insert the two cut stall grill bars in the top grill channel and slide the feed opening plate up – until it is tight with the two cut bars. Four hex head self-drillers are required to hold the feed opening plate in place through holes in the feed opening plate.
