Notch the wood together as pictured to create the base. Secure the wood in all four corners using galvanized

or stainless steel nails 6” in length. Dig a hole the size of the unit you are assembling into the ground and place

the wood frame into the ground making sure it is level (using standard level) on all four sides. Dig a deeper

cone shape hole in the middle for better drainage and insert pea gravel until the frame is full. This will allow

for better drainage of the water.

PLEASE NOTE* - Unit will overhang on all four sides when installing it to the wood for future pavers or tuck

stone or dirt underneath. For pavers being installed around the shower do not dig the wood base in the

ground so it is level lift the base up 2 to 3 inches to leave room so the pavers can tuck underneath.

1.) Setting Frame (s):

a. Remove the base frame from the box and lay on a flat surface

where the shower unit will be installed. PIC 1a

b. For double units make sure the center supports of both

frames are in line with each other then fasten using Qty. (4)

¾” self-tapping screws for 46” units and (3) ¾” self-tapping

screws for 36” units. PIC 1b

c. If you are installing a Cabana unit follow step 1b to install the additional frame.

*Before moving to the next step it is important to determine your door location and swing.

2.) Setting Posts:

a. Remove one set of posts from the post box and place on the frame where you have determined you

want the door to be. * The elongated holes at the base of the post must be parallel with the shower

door opening. PIC 2a The post flange will already be attached to the post. Lift the flange to access

where post bolts secure to base frame WITHOUT removing flange from post.

b. Using the 5/16” x 3/4”stainless steel bolts provided (4 per post) secure post to frame by screwing in

bolts halfway. *Do NOT over tighten!

Allow room to move the post slightly this is important to be able to set the wall panels. PIC 2b

c. Continue with steps a & b until all posts are attached to the base frame.
