For different types of bars, you will need to have a different method of installation. For example, if these bars are square, then you can use ratchet straps. If they are round or oval-shaped, then you will need to purchase extra tools, accessories and hardware for them in order to attach an awning.\r\rThe final step for installation is to attach all of your pieces together. This should be done by clipping each end of your fabric onto both metal hooks and tightening all four corners in place to your awning legs by using the ratchet straps. \r\rMore tension on these walls will make it easier for a windy day as sandstorms or any other large gusts of wind not to catch underneath the fabric and cause problems with your vehicle's paint job. \r\rIf you plan on using PVC tubing instead of fabric, you will need to do the opposite and attach the grommets at each corner of your tubing using a bracket. Then, proceed to tie it down on both sides using ratchet straps so that it hangs about six inches over each side of the vehicle's bed. PVC tubing is ideal for these types of projects because it does not tear easily, but fabric can be used in its place.\r\rThen, drill a hole wherever required to install your awning to each of the bracket with secured bolts and nuts, next, you will want to make sure that all the brackets and the ratchet straps are tight enough that they do not come undone by themselves or with some moderate pressure. This way, you get to enjoy years of shade whenever necessary without worrying about the ties coming loose on their own. Just make sure to keep the awning clean and dry when stored, otherwise mould might appear.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"How do you mount a 4wd awning?","text":"When mounting make sure that your rig is up to scratch and it can hold the awning (and preferably with someone qualified to check).\r\rTo guarantee your 4wd awning will be properly installed to your vehicle or car you should mount it to both of your crossbars using more awning brackets and longer bolts and nuts for extra strength; this is because mounting awnings incorrectly can have disastrous consequences. \r\rEven if your vehicle or car is strong enough for a 4wd awning there is still the possibility that it may collapse; we suggest you ask someone qualified to check before attaching an awning.\r\rTo mount your 4wd awning correctly, ensure you allow enough room at the front and back for the mounted awning to spread properly when erected.

They begin by assessing the damage and deciding what tools or equipment may be needed to complete the job. Panel beaters generally use their hands to ensure that they can get into all angles and places where dents may have formed. If this isn't enough, then more heavy-duty equipment such as hammers and dollies will be required, along with other materials such as springs or pressure bars, depending on the severity of the dent.\r\rThe panel beater shapes these materials to ensure that they can pull out any area of damage easily, without damaging surrounding areas. Sometimes levers such as screwdrivers are used under plates such as bonnets and trunks for leverage when metal is being pushed inwards. Once all of the damage has been removed, the panel beater cleans away any dirt or debris from the area before painting over it.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What are some daily tasks of a panel beater?

After this, they complete the initial assessment on the car and begin work by removing dents found through hand-shaping or using more powerful tools such as pneumatic guns. \r\rIf there are scratches, these are usually removed first by sanding down the area. When the paintwork is ready, they then begin to strip out old layers of paint until all that remains is bare metal. The next step involves masking up the car to prevent any damage while stripping off old paint through chemical application. Dipping baths are sometimes used for this task which may also involve adding materials such as fibreglass to strengthen certain areas before painting begins using spray guns and specialist roller brushes.\r\r","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null},{"__typename":"SectionData","type":"Text","headingTag":"h2","heading":"What tools does a panel beater use?","text":"Panel beaters use a variety of tools for repairing dents on cars to restore vehicles to near factory state.

An auto body mechanic can also use mechanical and hydraulic equipment when removing or refitting body hardware.\r\rPanel beaters also gain experience with equipment such as sanding machines which help them remove paint from areas where scratches may have occurred. They rely on panel beating drop sheets to protect carpets and other interior surfaces such as seats while these repairs are underway, so they cannot afford to damage any of the vehicles themselves.

When using power tools such as pneumatic guns, it is important that they avoid these from extending beyond their palms or arms as this could cause serious injury.

It's important to always buy quality materials when doing repairs so they last longer and everything is done properly, which means checking if the tools, equipment, and paints being used are top-quality. \r\rYou must have a lot of patience when repairing or painting because it will take time for this process to be complete which means no instant gratification from finishing a job quickly. Repairing a dent requires a lot more work compared to just painting, but if you're up for the challenge, then it could prove extremely rewarding at the end of the day.","bulletData":null,"numberedListData":null,"columnData":null,"imageCaption_1":null,"imageCaption_2":null,"imageURL_1":null,"imageURL_2":null,"numberOfImages":null,"numberOfColumns":null}]}}],"categories":null},"localsearchCMSArticles({\"categoryName\":\"panel-beaters-smash-repairs\",\"size\":5})":{"__typename":"ArticleConnection","results":[{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"4B8D274E-D8CF-0241-9DE9-AE05161A84FF","articleTitle":"What is a Panel Beater?","urlSlug":"/guides/panel-beaters-smash-repairs/what-is-a-panel-beater","featureImageUrl":"https://www.localsearch.com.au/resources/articles/panel-beater/smashed-car-door.jpg","wordCount":1615}},{"__typename":"ArticleEdge","article":{"__typename":"Article","articleId":"BC649977-BC14-7742-9D77-A64D9B1E6DCD","articleTitle":"What Does a Panel Beater Do?

woke up on Sunday morning prior to labour day and my front temp tooth had fallen out overnight. I had to endure 2 full days due the public holiday without my front tooth which was extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing. I was so relieved I was able to score an 8am Tuesday booking online with Dr Geoff. He tackled this problem with absolute professionalism and gave me options other dentists had not done in the past to get me through to getting an all important implant when I can afford it. Not only did he give me options Ive not had before he also did the most impressive front full tooth filling not even using the temporary tooth I had been so carefully protecting for so long as it was always ‘very’ temporary. The tooth looks fantastic and it feels so much more bonded and secure than all other work I’ve had on the missing tooth and I am really ever so grateful.
