If bolts are rusted, an air chisel or bolt cutter may be needed.
Remove wood.
Take measurements of original angles so replacements will go in the same place.
Drill 1/4" hole through the spot welds (appx. every 3" along angle) and pry angle loose (screwdriver may work).
Grind off spot welds using a body grinder.
Clamp new angle in place - make sure it is straight and positioned accurately.
Weld the new angle in place from outside - weld right through the holes you drilled. Grind the weld smooth.
HINT: Be careful not to use excessive heat which would burn through the angle: use an aluminum or copper block clamped to the angle strip at the weld to reduce distortion and discoloring from the weld.
Angles can be bolted to side as an alternative to welding: we recommend 5/16 X 3/4 Phillips drive bolts about 6-8" apart. Acorn nuts can be used on outside where bolt and nut are visible.
