I'm not putting any up, but i see them fitted both ways and was wondering if there was a "proper way" of fitting them. Do you have the angled bit on the top or the bottom. On top it would be in tension which seems to me to be the right way. Or maybe the load on it is not large enough to make a difference if it was on the bottom. Any preferences?

Messages 1, They would certainly be stronger with the diagonal above and in tension. Assuming all sections are same size. Mounting the other way, the diagonal member would be in compression, and being longer than the horizontal member more liable to buckle. M1CDQ Member.
