Assembly

Important: When inserting the BOARDS and PANELS into the CORNERS,
make sure they are fully seated. Any gaps between the wood and the
CORNERS will prevent proper alignment with screw holes.
1. Identify and organize all parts on a clean, level surface. NOTE: The BOARDS
may have both a rough and smooth side. The FLOOR PLANKS may be different widths.
2. Place two 8"H OR FOUR 4"H BOARDS on a flat surface,
with the smoothest sides facing down. Align the ends of
the BOARDS and press them tightly together. NOTE: We
recommend using a clamp or having another person hold
them firmly together.
3. Slide a CORNER onto the ends of the BOARDS, positioning it so
the holes in the CORNER match Fig. 1. NOTE: The top BOARD
should sit 1/8" above the top of the CORNER. Make sure the
BOARDS are tight together and are fully seated in the CORNER,
then use your screw gun to insert SCREWS through the holes,
skipping the 2 hole from the bottom. Repeat to attach
nd
another CORNER onto the other side of the BOARDS.
4. Using the ASSEMBLED 4' PANELS as a reference, line up the holes in the ends of
the PLATFORM SUPPORT with the open holes in the CORNERS (Figs. 1 & 2). Insert
a SCREW into both sets of holes.
5. Again using Fig. 1 and the ASSEMBLED 4' PANELS as references, slide 2 FLAT
STOCK underneath the PLATFORM SUPPORT. Align with holes 2
of the FLAT STOCK with the holes in the PLATFORM SUPPORT and make sure they
are straight. Secure the FLAT STOCK into place by inserting SCREWS through all
holes.
6. Repeat Steps 2–5 to assemble the other side panel.
