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.
A:
In the 6 places shown in fig. 10.1 drive the Rebar Ground Stakes 13” into the ground on both (2607) (8587)
Diagonals, and both (2613) Heavy SW Posts. Drive 1 Rebar Ground Stake 13” into the ground on (2608) Floor
Joist. 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 using 1 (S7) #12 x 2” Pan Screw per ground stake (fig. 10.1,10.2 and 10.3).
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.
