A. Foundation & Base Frame
1. Use pressure treated wood studs 2”x 4”
(50mm x 88.9mm) to create a platform frame that
has an outside dimension of 47” x 78”
(1193.80mm x 1981.20mm).
DuraMax must be installed on a level wooden platform
or a level concrete foundation.
2. Using exterior grade CDX 3/4” (19mm) plywood,
cut the sheets to form solid foundation as shown.
Foundation must be square and level.
Note: It is important that these instructions
