[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 678592, member: 4362"] I mounted my bars about a foot from each end of the main frame part of the chute. I don't know if I read this in the directions or if I just did it this way. Probably the latter. I haven't noticed if mine flexes or not but don't really see where it would matter being all the weight is still on the load bars. My biggest problem was securing the load bars to the concrete as I had used wire reinforcement in the concrete. You really need to fix the bars as solid as possible to the concrete. I also had a slight prolem fixing the chute to the plate. My intent was to weld it in place but I read in the directions that this could fry the load bars so I had to jury rig some bolt on braces to the chute and plate. Barring these two little problems and the shear weight of the chute, they are no real probem to install and mine has been trouble free for going on 8 years and they are painfully accurate. [/QUOTE]
