Q:
Hi,
I have bought the TMG-3040, and have laid down concrete faoundations around the perimiter. I'm wondering if it matters which way the Base Plate (parts code 6) faces. Looking at your diagram on page 5, it shows the plates (parts code 6) facing towards the centre from both sides. For me, it will be a slightly better fit on the concrete foundation if one side faces outwards instead (i.e. rotate the base plate 180 degrees). I was a couple of centremetres too big on one side when marking out, so my layout would suit the base plate facing out instead on in towards the centre (Hope you understand my description ok). So structurally, does it matter which way this plate faces?
cheers

Hello Geoff,
Since there are no ratchet straps that are required to attach from the outside it should not make any difference in construction or stability if if some of the baseplates face in the opposite direction.
