Important: When inserting the Cedar Boards and Panels into the Corners, make sure
they are fully pressed inside. If there are any gaps between the wood and the Corner
then you will have problems lining up the holes.
NOTE: Assembly is easiest with two people.
Step 1. Identify and organize all parts on a clean, level surface. NOTE: The Cedar Boards have both a rough side and a
smooth side. The Floor Planks may be different widths.
Step 2. Lay two 2' Cedar Boards on a flat surface, with the rough sides facing up. Line up the ends of the Boards and press them
tightly together. NOTE: We recommend using a clamp or having another person hold them firmly together.
Step 3. Slide a Corner onto the ends of the Cedar Boards, positioning it so the holes in the Corner match Figure 1. NOTE: The top
Cedar 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
Corner onto the other side of the Cedar Boards.
Step 4. Using the Assembled 2' Panels as a reference, line up the holes in the ends of the Platform Support with the open holes in the
Corners (Figures 1 & 2). Insert a Screw into both sets of holes.
Step 5. Again using Figure 1 and the Assembled 2'
Panels as references, slide a Flat Stock underneath
the Platform Support. Line up with the 2
the bottom holes in the Flat Stock with the hole in
the Platform Support and make sure it is straight.
Secure the Flat Stock into place by inserting
Screws through all of the holes.
Step 6. Repeat Steps 2–5 to assemble the other 2'
Side Panel.
