Assembly

Important: When inserting the BOARDS and PANELS into
the CORNERS, make sure they are fully seated. Any gaps
between the wood and the CORNER will prevent proper
alignment with drill holes.
1. Identify and organize all parts on a clean, level surface.
NOTE: The BOARDS may have a rough side and a smooth side.
The FLOOR PLANKS may be different widths.
2. Using Fig. 1 and the assembled 2' PANELS as a reference,
place four 8"H or eight 4"H BOARDS on a flat surface, with
the smoothest sides facing down. Align the BOARD ends
and press them tightly together. NOTE: We recommend
using a clamp or an assistant.
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 4th hole from the top.
Repeat to attach another CORNER onto the other side of the
BOARDS.
4. Examine a PLATFORM SUPPORT to find the side with 3 holes. Using the ASSEMBLED PANEL as a reference, align the holes in the
ends of the SUPPORT with the open holes in the CORNERS (Fig. 1 & 2). Insert a SCREW into both sets of holes.
5. Again using Fig. 1 and the ASSEMBLED PANEL as references, place the FLAT STOCK underneath the PLATFORM SUPPORT. Align
the 4th from the top holes in 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 of the holes.
6. Repeat Steps 2–5 to assemble the other side panel.
