You should have one bungied pole which slips into the 'padded edge', which
is really a tube.  Once this pole is slid through, it rests perfectly in the
rain gutter.  There are three clamps with wingnuts that hold the tube into
the rain gutter.  The clamps have a rubber pad that protects the underside
of the gutter.

At least that's how mine works.  I don't have a floor.  Sniff.

Hope this helps,
Coyote
