|
1.Cut a piece of cardboard to about 1 foot long and as high as your beam.
|
|
2. Hold the cardboard piece to the ceiling.
|
|
3. Fold cardboard back to get the desired angle that you want the beam to be. Make adjustments as needed.
|
|
4. Cut off folded section of the cardboard
|
|
|
5. Hold the cardboard up to the ceiling again to confirm the appropriate cut was made. Make any slight adjustments, if necessary.
|
|
6. Place cardboard template near the end of the beam and trace down the angle of the cardboard.
|
|
7. Cut along the line marked by the pencil, removing this side of the beam.
|
|
8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for the opposite side of the beam.
|
|
9. After both sides of the beam have beam cut, place it on the wall and make any adjustments as needed. You can also caulk or place straps on the end of the beam as desired.
