When attaching the box blind to the platform does the carriage bolt come thru from inside the blind with nut and lock washer on underside I’d tower base? Where does large flat washer go? The carriage bolt has a square that will not let washer to be on floor side. Is there something metal in wooden floor that bolt square sets in?

When installing the Muddy BBT500 box blind to the platform, secure the blind using (4) 3/8" x 5 1/4" carriage bolts. Each carriage bolt goes through the blind and platform base, and is secured with a 3/8" x 1 1/2" steel washer (the large flat washer), a 3/8" lock washer, and a 3/8" hex nut. The large flat washer should be placed between the lock washer and the nut.
