Tool Tuesday: Considering an Electric Pressure Washer? You gotta to see this!
What happens here
Begin by installing the mounting brackets on your building's wall. The video demonstrates using specific aluminum strapping material and mounting clamps designed for ribbed metal buildings (like a barn or garage). These brackets are secured using self-tapping screws with rubber washers to ensure a watertight seal and firm attachment to the building's exterior. The brackets provide a sturdy base to hang the pressure washer.
Goal: Create a secure mounting point for the pressure washer.
