 Step 4.

The hole will have to be deep enough to 
accommodate the pit coping, plus the 
thickness of the pit floor. (See Fig. 24)

 FIG. 24 EXCAVATED PIT AND SUPPORT FOR 

THE PIT FRAME

 Step 5.

Set the frame in the hole supported at 
about the correct height.

 Step 6.

Set two 2 x 4 's on edge (longer than the 
width of the hole) across the opening. (See 
Fig. 7)

 Step 7.

Use soft wire and make 2 loops by twist-
ing wire around each 2 x 4 and the frame

 Step 8.

With the frame supported by the wire and 
2 x 4's, use a spirit level to set the frame 
flush with the surrounding floor, level the 
frame to within 1/8”, corner to corner, side 
to side and diagonally, and at the correct 
height by twisting or untwisting the wires. 
(See Fig. 7) 

 Step 9.

Concrete specifications:

At least 6” thickness of concrete is required 
for pit floor in Non-Hostile applications.
