1 – BUILDING THE FOUNDATION

STEP 1.3 – casting concrete footing

Instructions:

·using a minimum C25/30 grade concrete; water tightness grade of W8

·pour the concrete directly into the ground

·min. 80 cm deep or to frost depth

After pouring the foundation, wait for the concrete to set completely. 1 – BUILDING THE FOUNDATION is complete rys. 3.

2 – POST BASES

STEP 2.1 – drilling holes in the footings: rys. 4.

After the footings have cured (the concrete has set completely), drill 4 holes in each footing. Diameter of holes according to the specification of the used bonded anchor fi12 (according to the manufacturer's guidelines); anchor made of at least A2 steel, using mortar e.g. FISCHER Injection system FIS V Plus.

Embed O12mm 8.8 grade anchor rods to a depth of min. 150mm in the foundation footing.

2 – POST BASES

STEP 2.2 – installation of post bases

Fix the post bases leaving a gap of ca. 20-30mm from the face of the concrete footing.

Level the set of footings very precisely, e.g. using a water level or levelling instrument, so that they all sit at the same height and the anchor plate remains level.

After levelling and final verification of the position of the bases, prepare grout with non-shrink assembly mortar e.g. CERESIT CX-15.

2 – POST BASES

Completed STAGE 2: a set of 6 levelled steel bases for mounting the structure. The steel bases are permanently joined with the foundation footings.

STEP 3.1 – mounting post connectors, mounting posts rys. 7.

3 – LOAD BEARING STRUCTURE: POSTS, TRANSOMS

STEP 3.1 – mounting post connectors, mounting posts

After the assembly mortar has cured, take the following steps for each post:

- on top of each post, mount a connector for 8pcs of M10 bolts

- at the appropriate location (depending on the height), mount the post on the steel bases using 8pcs of M10 bolts;
