Select one of the suggested finishing materials. Be sure Base Kit lies flat on the ground. To prepare the earth
bed, remove sod and other organic debris, level the high spots with a flat shovel, and tamp the bed down.
LAY EXTERIOR PLYWOOD OR ANY SUITABLE DECK MATERIAL (5/8" 15,5 MM MINIMUM THICK-
NESS) NOTE: Pressure Treated Lumber must not be used where it will make contact with your Arrow
Products. The properties of Pressure Treated Lumber will cause accelerated corrosion. If Pressure
Treated Lumber comes in contact with your Arrow Models your warranty will be voided.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If leveling blocks are
required due to uneven ground conditions,
the base kit must be completely supported
along outside perimeter, because the kit is
not self supporting.
Plywood rests between floor frames on
the inside flange.
