Expert Verdict Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk

Order the base and top in the same width so the cap assembles flush. .025 aluminum holds its shape well on straight runs and can be snip-cut for field details. Keep fasteners compatible with aluminum to avoid corrosion at contact points.

Cut aluminum edges are sharp; wear gloves and eye protection when trimming and installing.
