When measuring the distance to the face of each base plate, use
a piece of string longer than required and place a mark on the
string at the required distance.

Insert the bottom plate by slidding it on each upright chanel
b)
Insert the buttress rails between the buttresses, the bottom rails
insert into the bottom plate. Make sure the groove faces up.

GROUND
PREPARATION
a)
Fill the base U-channels and the trenches they sit in with
crushed limestone (or equivalent). Fill them up to the top edges
of the base U-channels. If the limestone is dry spray it with some
water to help with the compaction. Stand on the base U-channel
and tamp down the limestone until a solid base is achieved (by
standing on the base U-channel your weight helps prevent the base
U-channel from moving). Add additional limestone as required.
(Im-
age 2.32)
b)
Make sure the space under the end of the base U-channel is com-
pletely filled with crushed limestone.
(Image 2.33)
c)
Recheck the distances between the base U-channels and make
any adjustments you need to make sure the spacing is exactly right.
Crushed limestone or equivalent must be used instead of
brick sand or vermiculite to backfill the base U-channels. The
level of compaction achieved by using crushed limestone or
equivalent is superior to that of brick sand or vermiculite.
