3) Calkin the Joints:
Spread a ead of caulk were the 2nd layer will
overlap with the 1st layer of cement oard. This
step will ensure correct water drainage. Work
quickly to step 4 efore caulk sets up.
Installin HardiBacker® Board Layers
1) Preparin table for the Cement Board:
Install the cement oard while the ta le is in
the vertical position. To prepare the ta le for
stacking, first clamp supports on the ottom of
the ta le (G. Oran e Rectan les). Ensure the
supports are strong enough to handle the load of
the cement oard. 4 x18” strips of wood, metal
or granite can e used . Clamp to the 3x3” ta le
eam with 4-8” C-Clamps.
2) Stackin the 1st layer:
Stack the 1st layer as depicted in figure 1. Refer
to the cut list a ove for specific dimensions on
each piece.

5) Prepare for Drillin :
Clamp a wood 2x4 or 12.6’ tracks over
the center seam to lock all sheets to-
gether (I.)
Clamp another wood lock (H.) on the
top center to keep the sheets in place
while drilling (Depicted Fi ure 3)
6) Drill Holes/ secure sheets:
Drill four corner holes in all sheets and
start the provided elevator olts on the
corners. Do not ti hten.
7) Drill remainin field holes/ place hard-
ware:
Drill holes from the ack of the ta le
using a hammer drill and a masonry drill
it. Place the elevator olts in the holes
from the front of ta le and set the car-
riage heads into the HardieBacker with a
large hammer.
8) Bolt down all hardware:
Start the 1/4” washers and 7/16” nuts
on the ack of ta le . Use an impact
screw gun or ratchet wrench to tighten.
Start with the center bolts and work
your way to the out side. Torque the
olts sufficiently making sure the eleva-
tor olt heads are set as flat as possi le
on the top of the ta le. Do not over
tighten.
9) Remove all support locks and tilt ta le
to horizontal position.

10) Cut Wonderboard Material:
Cut 16 pieces of 11 7/8 x 36” for yield of
five pieces per oard using 3 x 5’ sheet.
Note: If a smaller water drainage gap e-
tween the Wonder oard is desired cut 20
pieces and place a 2 3/4’” gap etween
oards and the edge oards flush to the out-
side of the ta le.
2 3/4” 11 7/8” 5”
11) Layout:
For layout depicted, mark the ta le with a chalk line or rip spacer plywood oards to set the gap with
when onding.
12) Prepare the Table for bondin :
Important Step: Wet the ta le top down with a sponge. This step will allow the thin-set to cure
slowly for a strong ond. Bonding to the dry HardiBacker® surface will result in flash dry and a very
weak ond. Allow any surface water to dry efore onding with mortar mix.
13) Bond the WonderBoard Strips:
Mix tile mortar (thin-set) in a five gallon ucket using an acrylic additive. We recommend Kera ond®
Tile Mortar and Keralastic® acrylic additive made y Mapei® availa le from most Tile supply stores.
Tip: The thin-set should e on the thin side ut still a le to hold its shape when toweled with a 1/4”
notch trowel. If the temperature is hot, dampen the ta le periodically efore gluing each strip to pre-
vent the thin set from firing off and loosing onding strength.
If outside, do this operation in the morning to prevent any sun from heating the ta le while working
the thin set.
Set four 3’ piece at a time, taping down each piece with a ru er mallet to ensure good ond. Place the
first piece flush with the ottom of the ta le opposite the water pan, this will overlap the center
seam, the other end will hang over the top of the ta le y 1” and should e trimmed once the thin-
set has cured.
After two 6’ strips have been set, check with a strai ht ed e and hit down on the high spots with a ru -
er mallet. Place weight on the ends and middle of the Wonder oard and set two more strips.
Once four 6’ strips are set re-check with a strai ht ed e in both directions and diagonally. Adjust as
needed. Be carful not to over work the thin set or the ond will weaken.
Once the entire top is set, place a moderate amount of wei ht on all hi h points alon with ends and
middles, allow it to cure for at least 8 hours efore removing the weight .

14) Trim the 1’ overhang off the top and edges of the ta le.
Installin cement board blocks on the water pan outri ers (optional):
Cut List:
(10 pc) 7 x 3” HardiBacker® oard
(5 pc) 7 x 3” Wonder Board
16) Drill two 1/4” holes into each of the 3 x 7” HardieBacker locks and countersink 3/8” deep. Mark
the hole placement on the steel and drill the steel with a 1/8” pilot drill.
Glue the locks to the steel with Silicon or PL panel adhesive with self taping screws, making sure
the screw pulls down flush with the surface.
17) Glue on the second layer of HardieBacker and Wonder oard lock with a generous amount of PL
adhesive. Place weight or clamp the locks in place until the glue sets up.
18) Waterproof the top with a masonry grade waterproof liquid (optional)

Cuttin out Slab Pe Sleeves:
15) Core the sla pin holes (pictured, or-
ange circle/square in the diagram) using
the 2 1/4 core it.
First mark the holes y drilling with the
1/4” masonry it from the ack of the
ta le.
For the square hole, first drill with the 2
1/4” hole saw and then remove corners
with a jig saw and lade.
