Abstract
A foldable shipping cover nailing fin for use with a frame assembly, including a window, door, or other such assembly. The shipping cover nailing fin includes an L-shaped flange-like member which includes an integrally formed insertion leg. The flange-like member is flexibly adjoined to a second member by a hinge mechanism. The hinge mechanism permits the flange-like member to rotate into contact with the second member. In this position, the insertion leg may be inserted into a nailing fin kerf formed in the frame assembly, thereby locking the shipping cover nailing fin to the frame assembly in the folded position.
