    The 'frame' they provide is what the glass is shipped on, kinda like picking up a load on a pallet. Depending on what kind of glass you're getting (size wise) you could have an A frame, L frame, H frame, etc...

    Glass isn't really too bad. You just have to make sure your tarps are on good, and use a crap load of padding on the edges. Because of how loose they are, even the frames will tear the tarps...

    That's good. As you can tell, I made it through my first year with no big issues. I have a great DM which makes it nice. I've managed to stay in the top 100 for 3/4 of the year, so listening to your advise has paid off.

    Stay safe!
     
    Noggin Thanks this.
