Move all assembled Exhibit Bases, tools and materials to
the installation site. Mark the installation location using
stakes or approved marking paint to indicate pedestal base
locations. Prior to installation, please check the local
building and signage codes as well as the applicable ADA
(Americans with Disabilities Act) regulations for
compliance.
When installing the exhibit base with attached base plates
to a permanent surface, such as concrete, use the
appropriate fastening devices to provide a secure and
permanent installation.
When installing the pedestal in the ground, you will need
to dig holes approximately 6” below the local frost line. We
recommend that you plan your installation depth to allow
for approximately 28” to 32” distance between the ground
surface and the bottom of the exhibit frame assembly
when finished.
Fill the completed holes with approximately 6” of gravel
and tamp to provide an even and firm surface.
To prevent concrete splatter from attaching to the
pedestal base(s), wrap and secure plastic to the upper
portion of the pedestal base(s) to protect any part which
will be seen after installation.
Set the exhibit base in the ground, level the uprights by
securing with temporary braces and clamps as shown in
Figure 3. Double-check the distance from the ground
surface to the exhibit frame for proper height.
Mix and fill the holes with wet cement to within 2” of the
ground surface. Agitate the concrete to remove air
pockets making sure to not bump or move the braced
exhibit base. Carefully recheck the base level before the
concrete begins to harden.
Let cement set for at least 24 hours, remove the plastic
and braces, back fi ll remaining holes and finish as
necessary.
