A. Foundation & Base Frame
1. Use pressure treated wood studs 2”x 4”
(50mm x 101.6mm) to create a platform frame that
has an outside dimension of 126” x 71”
(3200.4mm x 1803mm).
DuraMax must be installed on a level wooden platform
or a level concrete foundation.
2. Using exterior grade CDX 3/4” (19mm) plywood,
cut and fit together the sheets to form solid foundation
as shown. Foundation must be square and level.
Note: It is important that these instructions
are followed step by step.
Wooden platform is extra and
