I know this has nothing to do with what you have asked but can I ask what you think to your Cabanon as I have been thinking of this model.

Seen it in Don Valley. Looks nice, just thought I would ask an owner.

Sorry to change the subject!

Hi there Mrs Swaby,

I could perhaps get you a box from work if you,d like- they are very roomy and come with their own lid and name plate >>!!!!!!

Hi Tricia

There are probably several methods that have been adopted by others on here but the one I used was to cut to shape a 1" marine ply board to fit in the box to strengthen the base a bit, thenthere were already two 8mm holes pre-drilled in the A frame, so I carefully aligned the box centrally and not too far forward and marked from underneath through the holes with a felt pen.

Took box off and drilled these two holes, box back on A frame and loosely bolted it together, making sure everything looked square and aligned. Then measured forward and drilled two more holes in A frame, need to make sure that you drill centrally through A frame and into box.

Another alternative, if you dont fancy drilling the A frame is to get some narrowish U bolts, the type that are used for exhaust pipes should do. You will probably need 4 of these, then aligned box and drill through box either side of A frame then insert U bolt from underneath, you will probably have to get some largish washers to spread the load a bit, or better still use a short lenght of steel bar to go between the two legs of the U bolt (hope this all makes sence)

I would also use nyloc nuts just to make sure they stay tight

I can take picks if you wish but will have to wait till weekend, but let me know if you do

Hope this helps

Andy
