I am using 24" fiberglass bars. M question is, what is the correct distance of top boards from the top of the radius dish?
Thanks,

That is fine Mine is 36" but there is no pre-defined height . A 3/16" dia. x 24" long fiberglass rod at 23 1/4 clamp hight, I believe will produce 8 lbs of down force per rod and that is more than enough. Shorten the clamp height and rod lengh and the force is increased. Lenghten the clamp height and rod length and the force is decreased. For brace clamping 8 lbs per rod three/four rods per x-brace is great. Truth is if you have enough rods 2 lbs per rod works. Constant surface to surface contact under some pressure is all that is needed for a good jointMichaelP38617.4048263889
