Assembling and installing a Pannier Exhibit Base is a
straight forward process made even easier if two or
more people work together using the proper tools and
materials to complete the task.
• Power or manual post-hole digger
• Shovel
• Wood braces
• Hammer
• Clamps
• Nails
• Plastic sheeting
• Cement
• Gravel
• Tamping bar
• Level
All you need to do is attach the exhibit pedestal base(s) to the
completed panel frame assembly with the supplied buttonhead
screws as shown in Figure 1. Proceed to Step 3 – Installation.
To install the exhibit panel, first remove screws from the top
angle. Place the frame assembly face-up on a raised sturdy
work surface. Slide your exhibit panel face-up into the frame
assembly channel, making sure the panel bottom matches the
frame bottom as indicated by weep holes. Attach the Top Angle
Bracket with supplied 1/4” drive rivets to securely enclose the
exhibit panel. Insert the rivet, and drive the pin (see Figure 2)
down with a hammer until flush with the head. If your exhibit
base came with screws, attach the Top Angle Bracket with
supplied 1/4”-20 screws to securely enclose the exhibit panel.
Insert screws and screw into holes (see Figure 2) with a phillips
head screw driver until inserted all the way.
Attach the completed frame assembly to the leg(s) with the 6
supplied 3/8” drive rivets. Proceed to Step 3 – Installation.
If you purchased your exhibit panels and bases from
Pannier, most of the assembly has already been
completed for you.
If you purchased the exhibit bases only, you will need
to install your exhibit panel and attach the pedestal
base(s).

Move all assembled Exhibit Bases, tools and materials to
the installation site. Mark the installation location using
stakes or approved marking paint to indicate pedestal base
locations. Prior to installation, please check the local
building and signage codes as well as the applicable ADA
(Americans with Disabilities Act) regulations for
compliance.
When installing the exhibit base with attached base plates
to a permanent surface, such as concrete, use the
appropriate fastening devices to provide a secure and
permanent installation.
When installing the legs in the ground, you will need to
dig holes approximately 6” below the local frost line.
Fill the completed holes with approximately 6” of gravel
and tamp to provide an even and firm surface.
To prevent concrete splatter from attaching to the
pedestal base(s), wrap and secure plastic to the upper
portion of the pedestal base(s) to protect any part which
will be seen after installation.
Set the exhibit base in the ground, level the uprights by
securing with temporary braces and clamps as shown in
Figure 3. Double-check the distance from the ground
surface to the exhibit frame for proper height.
Mix and fill the holes with wet cement to within 2” of the
ground surface. Agitate the concrete to remove air
pockets making sure to not bump or move the braced
exhibit base. Carefully recheck the base level before the
concrete begins to harden.
Let cement set for at least 24 hours, remove the plastic
and braces, back fi ll remaining holes and finish as
necessary.
