Rigging Guidelines
Installation Instructions
RIGGING GUIDELINES
While these boulders are very strong and resistant to damage, improper rigging
techniques can damage the product and more importantly can create a serious
hazard to persons or property in the vicinity of the boulder movement. The
following comments are guidelines that are not intended to replace sound practices
for proper rigging. Rather they are provided as a supplement to proper rigging
techniques.
Due to their size and weight, it is recommended that a crane be used for lifting
and moving the boulders from the top with the supplied eyebolts. Refer to the
crane operators expertise to apply safe rigging and lifting practices. Please refer
to the weight charts below.

ZZBD0013 4500 lbs. (2131,8 kg)
ZZBD0014 4640 lbs. (2109,1 kg)
ZZBD0015 7830 lbs. (3559,1 kg)
ZZBD0016 12000 lbs. (6327,3 kg)

EYE BOLTS
Eye bolts are provided with each boulder, except the bench boulder, to aid in the
rigging and lifting practices. When the boulders are in their desired location, the
eye bolts should be removed. Refer to the patch and repair process on page 18
to remove the eye bolts and cover the holes after use.
