Firstly dig the holes for the uprights:
Lay your platform base on the ground at the chosen position. Using a spirit level find the highest
corner, this will be your first hole. If the difference in height between one side of the platform and
the other is greater than 75mm you should level off the ground or consider moving your frame to a
more level place in the garden.
Take a 50mm slice of lawn and put it to one side for return later. Dig the first hole to 300mm deep
and about 300mm square. (a useful note is to place the removed soil on to a plastic sheet to
minimise clearing up afterwards) Move on to digging the next hole - use the tip below for getting the
holes level. Once you have dug the corner holes then dig the final hole for the front central upright
in the same way.
TIP: Digging all the holes to be level involves a simple trick using 2 equal balustrade pieces and a
spirit level. Stand one balustrade upright in your first (measured) hole and the second upright in
the next hole. Place your spirit level on top of these two pieces (if your level is not long enough
then please use a straight piece of wood rested on top of the balustrades and then put the level on
top of this). Adjust the depth of the second hole either by further digging or adding back some soil
