Layout the Riser


Layout the pieces of your standard pedestal inside the frame as pictured. The finished sides when assembled will face outside. These are often painted black.
{ step 1 }

Brackets

Slide the plastic corner brackets into each corner of the pedestal base. Slide the corner bracket in at an angle to start, for easier assembly.
{ step 2 }

Firm pressure is usually required to slide the corner brackets on. Do not use a hammer. { step 3 }

Supports

Assemble the two sets of the center support system by inserting the slotted pieces into each other. Position the two sets of center supports in the cnter of the bed head to foot and side to side.

Alternately you may receive a single long support with two shorter supports. Position it down the middle of the pedestal base.
{ step 4 }

Center it again

The pedestal should be accuratly centered inside the frame. Use a tape measure to ensure accuracy.
{ step 5 }

Remove the Frame

While not disturbing the pedestal, tilt one side of the frame up and let it rest on its side. This is so you can place the decking boards on top of the pedestal.

Step not required for many four post models.
