Option B
2. Move the cabinet and remove the sod from the area, filling in with
small stone or gravel. This allows for a firm base for the cabinet and
for drainage. Open the aeration cabinet by unscrewing the 4 lobed
thumb screws. Gently lift the cabinet lid and lay on its side next to
the base.
3. Place the cabinet onto the stone base and use your level to make sure the
cabinet is sitting secure and level.
