Where ever water can collect,expecially in the areas were two sections
(corners) are welded together,and at the ends of the frame,and the lowest
areas,just do the bottom sides of the frame so that water could drain
out,also don't forget to put drain holes in the birdcage part of the
frame,make the holes decent size so that they will not clog up with debris.

BEFORE you POR it(the frame),drill DRAIN holes on the bottom side of the
frame as that is the Number 1 reason for rotted frames,water gets into the
box frame,and rusts its way out,Because the Factory never put any drain
holes in the frame.
