He has a 2x4 structure that is bolted into the cement floor. This structure surrounds three cabinets from three sides. The backside will have the overhang.

The frame, from the top view is about 93x30. Add 12-15 inches for the overhang.

We want that overhang secure because kids tend to hang from it.
