This topic will give you some ideas on how the finished gratings should look. I'm assuming you're using the typical interlocking combs supplied in kits. The important part to remember is that the fore-and-aft pieces (the battens) ride on top of the athwartship pieces (the ledges). Also, the finished grating should always fit within its coaming so that the coaming's inside edges abut a batten or ledge; the edge cuts should never be made through the grating gaps themselves.

 

Cheers!
