RIGHT ANGLE TURN

Attach 58"x 60" platform to bottom of Module #3 with 3/8" x 4" carriage bolts. Support platform temporarily with jacks. Make sure the plafform is level. Take measurements for length of 4x4's, cut 4x4's to length, attach pads and place 4x4's as in diagram.
Attach 58"-long cross support with screws on landing side of 4x4's at bottom of Module #3 (side A in diagram).
Attach cross support to 4x4's with screws on opposite side of landing (side B in diagram).
Attach cross support to side C.

NOTE: To build a ramp with a right-angle turn, complete the first section of the ramp as described in previous pages (the lengths of each section do not need to be equal, ex: a 14'6" top section and 9' 8" lower section could be used). Use a 58"x 60" platform and support with 58"-long cross supports. Five 4x4's are used for this landing. (See illustration on page 36.) All support structure assembly is the same as for sloped sections.
