For DIY beginners, we offer all-inclusive kits with pre-cut materials and hardware:
| Kit Model | Materials Included | Tools Needed | Assembly Time | Max Load |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HT-BASIC | Cedar planks, steel legs, HS-304 screws | Drill, wrench | 2 hours | 150 lbs |
| HT-PRO | Teak slats, aluminum frame, HS-ZC brackets | None (tool-free) | 45 mins | 250 lbs |
Use kiln-dried cedar or teak, seal all surfaces before assembly, and allow 1/8" gaps between planks for wood movement. Haoyun's pre-treated lumber eliminates warping risks.
Choose adjustable-height legs (like Haoyun's HW-AL-LEG) or install leveling feet. For permanent solutions, pour concrete footings.
Opt for pressure-treated pine instead of expensive hardwoods, and use Haoyun's zinc-coated hardware (50% cheaper than stainless steel with similar corrosion resistance).
