I thought about that ahead of time. and we brought 6" painters tape. It was pretty difficult to apply the painters tape in a "good" fashion so we ended up just slapping it along the edges on the inside. When we were taking it off after a week I was surprised by how little dirt there was on the take, so I might not even bother this year. I'll bring it just in case though. > > On Tue, Jun 30, 2015 at 11:59 AM, Alex Gorbatchev < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Long edges were grooved and I added 1/4" EMT pipe.
