Use a string line to make certain the board is level.

Remove the string lines from the rebar end stakes and the perimeter stake lines as they will be in the way when installing the bed border. Pull up the temporary end stake and lay it aside.

Move a board into place alongside the row of stake cradles. Loop one end of the board over the permanent 5/8-inch stake. Place a portion of the board in each cradle until the entire board is on edge.

Attach the other end to a hand winch by means of a 10-inch piece of 5/8-inch rebar and the wire sling. Anchor the winch to a stationary object such as another stake. Make sure the board is oriented correctly. Pockets should be facing outward (towards the path) and the tread facing inward.

Remove excess slack by stretching the board. Applying too much tension may result in personal injury! With the board under tension, remove the cradle stakes one at a time and insert into the pockets. Drive the stakes to within 3 inches of the top of the board and stop.

Use a hand winch to stretch 30-foot-long rubber boards prior to staking.
