INSTALL SUPPORT STRUCTURE AND TOP
The Hestan Outdoor Living Suite DOES NOT include the stone countertop and plywood sub-
structure. Template drawings are provided at the end of this manual with RECOMMENDED final
stone dimensions. You may choose to have slightly larger overhangs, different edge treatments,
etc. The stone installer will typically come out a few days prior to installation to go over the
dimensions and make a physical template of the top before cutting the slab you have chosen. The
stone countertop must be supported beneath by a 3/4 inch thick plywood base (see below). Due to
the outdoor application of this product, pressure-treated /marine plywood is recommended prior to
laying down the stone. Be sure to arrange for this plywood to be provided with the stone countertop
at the time of installation.
14. Before installing the top, you should now go back and tighten all bolts everywhere else in the suite.
Install the plywood sub-structure first. Get assistance from another person to help lift the plywood
and position correctly. (8 foot Outdoor Living Suite shown)
