Wood Fo rms
Construct a wooden frame around the hole to
support the base assembly as shown in Figure
5.
A sample would be the 2"x4", which after
being dried and planed will measure 1 1/2" x 3
1/2" (3.81 x 8.89 cm), or a 2"x 6", which will
measure 1
,
1/2"x S 1/2" (3.81 x 13.97 cm).
In the U.S.A, the dimensions of lumber are
listed, and referred to, as the size after is
roughcut at the sawmill; prior to being dried
planed and sold on the market.
Figure 5 Constructing Frame for
Concrete Base
Orient your tower base in the direction your
tower will be raised. The two parallel ears of
the base assembly will be the hinged side.
Check and realign the tabs, using a large ham-
mer, so they will agree with the dimensions
given in Figure 6.

1~MPORTANT: THE TABS ON THE BASE
ASSEMBLY MUST MATCH THE SPACING
DIMENSIONS CALLED OUT IN FIGURE 6.
Drill a 3/4" hole in each cross member in line
with the lower holes in the base assembly as
shown in Figure 7.
The tabs on the tower base assembly may
have been knocked out of alignment during
shipment or while in storage.
