Warning!
To prevent tipping and avoid potential injury, stakes must be
driven 13” (330mm) into ground. Digging or driving stakes can be dangerous if
you do not check first for under-ground wiring, cables or gas lines.
A:
In the 6 places shown in fig. 16.1 drive the Rebar Ground Stakes 13” (330mm) into the ground against (041)
Lower Side. Be careful not to hit the washer while hammering stakes into the ground as this could cause the
washer to break off. (fig. 16.1, fig. 16.2 and 16.3)
B:
Attach ground stakes using 1 (S7) #12 x 2” Pan Screw (with 2pcs 1/4” flat washers) per ground stake as
shown in fig. 16.2 and 16.3.
C:
After driving stakes into the ground, check for sharp edges caused by the impact of the hammer. Smooth any
sharp edges from impact area and touch up with outdoor paint.
