### 116"-long x 42"-wide Ramping Module

Can be used to replace two 58" modules

Components:

    4   2x6 by 113" Joists (Order four 2x6x10 and cut 4 joists)
    2   2x6 by 42" End Pieces (Order one 2x6x8 and cut 2 end pieces)
    20  5/4" x 6" by 42" Decking (Order 14' decking and cut 4 pieces
           from each. Five 14' decking equals twenty 42" pieces.)
    160  2 1/2" Deck Screws (8 per Decking Plank)
    6   3" Deck Screws (To attach end pieces to joists)
    8   2x6 Joist Hangers
    64  Joist Hanger Nails (8 per hanger)
    3   2x6 Blocking at mid-point of module (To maintain width and add
          stability)
    12  3" Deck Screws for blocking

Construction Notes:

1. Cut joists and end pieces to length and assemble on flat surface. Space joists 14" apart on center.
2. Screw end pieces to the ends of joists with 3" screws.
3. Insure module is square and nail on joist hangers.
4. Bend outside flange of four corner joist hangers flat against end pieces of module.
5. Screw blocking in place. Blocking maintains 42"-width of module and adds stability to module.
6. Decking may be attached at this point or after module frame is placed in a ramp. Decking adds significant weight to module. If decking added, you will need to remove decking end pieces when assembling ramp.
7. Drill a 3/8" hole centered on the end pieces and drill two 3/8" holes 6" from each side. All three holes to be centered vertically on the end piece.
