Our typical module is 2 feet wide, so the angle would be 2 feet long, and using 2 inch or 3 inch flanges. The flange is set down on top of the rails at the end of the module and then fastened to the ends with wood screws. Once installed, the flanges will take a beating and the track underneath is protected from damage.

That sounds like a really easy and good way to protect the rails Russ. Thanks for the additional info, logged into my notes and this will have to be a must for the modules ends Misngth
