Method 4 - Wood deck
After assembling the base according to the assembly instructions, position the base assembly on your deck for anchoring.
mCAUTION: Combustible materials should never be within 24 inches of the top, bottom, back or sides of the barbecue. Do not locate under overhead combustible construction.
mCAUTION: For a deck installation, it is recommended to anchor one screw into a joist.
Note - With the lid open, the depth of the barbecue is 28 inches, front to back.
Anchor the base to the deck. We recommend using a minimum of a 3/8 inch x 1 1/2 inch lag bolt with a 3/8 inch flat washer. Figure 10.
Note - Use a 3/16 inch drill bit for drilling a pilot hole for a 3/8 inch lag bolt.
