10. With the aid of a mallet and a stake,
carefully create appropriately sized
holes in the ground about 32.5cm deep
to receive the uprights (ref. 4). The
uprights can be concreted if required
but do not set until the steel framework
is fully assembled and levelled. (You
11. Place the uprights (ref.4) into the
holes and at the same time slide on
the foot plates (ref.13) as shown. The
uprights should be pushed into the
ground approximately 30cm at this
point.
13. Your site should now look something
like the above - albeit with your own
particular cage’s arrangement. Check
the uprights are vertical with the aid of
a spirit level.
12. Before attaching the roof unit to
the uprights ensure that two hinge
blocks (Ref.8) are slid onto the
hinging upright. Attach the fixings but
at this stage do not fully tighten.
Ensure the pivot axis is towards the
outside of the cage for a door that
opens outward. This can be reversed
for an inward swinging door.
15. Slide the flat latch block (Ref.7)
onto the door support upright and
tighten loosely. Position the T-joint
along the horizontal bar to line up with
the door support upright.
14. Locate the door support upright(s)
(ref. 4) such that the gap between it and
the upright that the door will hinge from
is 770mm (between inside faces).
Pick up the first square horizontal bar
unit as in the photo (note the position
of the T-joint).
16. Locate the square unit into the tops
of the uprights and the door support
upright as shown above.
17. Locate any other complete square
horizontal bar units as in step 15
as applicable.
Then add all other
horizontal bars one at a time until all
horizontals are in place. Make sure that
all threaded holes on the horizontals
are facing upwards.
18. At all horizontal bar joins, bolt (ref.
22 & 23) the appropriate connector
plate (ref. 18,19 & 20) as in the example
above using a 17mm spanner.
may find a hole former (ARC-021)
