Step 31: Attach Swing End Ground Stakes
Other Parts
A:
In the 2 places shown in fig. 31.1 drive the Rebar Ground Stakes 13” into the ground against the boards. Be
careful not to hit the washer while hammering stakes into the ground as this could cause the washer to break off.
B:
Attach ground stakes to (272) SW Posts using 1 (S7) #12 x 2” Pan Screw per ground stake as shown in fig. 31.1.
C:
After driving stakes into the ground, check for sharp edges caused by the impact of the hammer. Smooth any
sharp edges from impact area and touch up with outdoor paint.
Warning!
To prevent tipping and avoid potential injury, stakes must be driven 13” into
ground. Digging or driving stakes can be dangerous if you do not check first for under-ground
wiring, cables or gas lines.
