Adding the Aft Wall Supports
After holes were drilled all along the deck to accommodate the supports, piano wire was cut and glued into place. The wall looks large in this photo, but it is actually only 11mm tall at the highest point.

I regretted adding these at this stage and I should have waited until after the deck was painted.
