Installation Guidelines
Cabana Bench Table 10-Direct Burial
Tools Needed: Ratchet set or wrenches, hand level, shovel, wheel barrow.
Step 1: Foundation Excavation
Excavate holes on level ground for foundation of 2’-0” diameter by 3’-0” deep. Holes spaced at
7’-9”, center to center. Place approximately 6” of gravel in holes to an elevation of 2’6” deep.
(Gravel used to support posts at desired elevation while concrete is being poured and to drain post
sleeves.
Step 2: Posts and Beam
Slide 3”x3” sleeves (Part #1) on to posts (Part #2) and place beam (Part #3) on top of posts making
sure bolt holes line up. Secure with bolts “A” and column plates (Part #9)
Step 3: Foundation Placement
Set posts and beam on top of gravel base. Check the elevation to insure proper depth of posts.
While plumbing posts vertically with a hand level, posts and beam need to be secured in place,
using guy ropes or 2”x4” braces. Ropes need sufficient tautness to insure stability while pouring
concrete. Concrete may then be poured, taking care not to move posts. Re-check the plumb after
pouring concrete.
NOTE: Concrete needs 24 hours of curing time, prior to erecting rest of bench.
Step 4: Seat Plates
Attach the (2) seat plates (Part #4) to the inside face of the 3”x3” posts (Part #2) with bolts “A”.
Step 5: Angle Iron, Bench Straps and Durawood Slats
1.
Seat:
Sandwich the bench straps (Part #11) between seat plates (Part #4) and Durawood slats (Part #6)
and secure with lag bolts “B” (*Note – Bolt “B” will travel through the angle iron (parts #12), seat
plate (part#4), bench strap (part#11) and into the Durawood slat (part#6) in that sequence).
At center of Bench, sandwich the center bench strap (Part #15) between angle iron (Part #12) and
Durawood slats (Part #6) and secure from the bottom with Bolt “B” *Note – Center strap will rest
on top of angle iron.
2.
Table:
Attach the (2) 3”x 3”x12” angle (Part #14) to the inside face of both 3”x3” posts with bolts “A”.
Place the 2”x2”x 6’ Angle (Part #12) underneath the 3”x 3”x12” angle (Part #14) while placing (3)
Durawood slats (Part #6) on top of angles (Part #14) and secure from the bottom-up with lag bolts
“B”. (*Note – Bolt “B” will travel through the 2”x2”x 6’ Angle (Part #12), 3”x 3”x12” angle (Part
#14), Durawood slat (part#6) in that sequence).
Step 7: Gable Ends
Secure gable ends (Part #7) to each end of beam (Part #3) with bolts “C”.
NOTE: 6”x6” plates to meet at beam end and center of gable end.
Step 8: Perlins
Attach (5) perlins (Part #8) to gable ends with bolts “D”.
