TIPS & TRICKS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ASSEMBLY
PREBUILD:
• Prebuild all hardware prior to starting build.
• When assembling hardware SNAP the bolt into place
with the plastic sliders. Pressing down on something
flat and hard will help. (Fig. A)
• Do not over hand tighten the slider/bolt piece and the
nut on the completed brackets. They should be loosely
attached so they slide into the channels on the panels.
Leave a space of ¼ in. (Fig. B)
INSTALL:
• Always start in the corner when starting a build. (Fig. C)
• Set the drill clutch (torque) at a low level to deliver a
torque range of 50-65lbs per inch. Refer to your drill
manual for torque adjustment instructions.
• Use a rubber mallet to assist with moving/aligning/
adjusting panel placement during assembly.
WHEN BUILDING WOODEN COMPONENTS:
• Do not exceed prescribed length. Exact measurements
are required for proper assembly.
• Ensure your cuts are straight.
• Do not over tighten the screws into the wood
- this can cause buckling.
• Pre-drill holes for 45º corner assemblies.
• Use cedar or pressure treated wood for outdoor use.
• Seal wooden components for prolonged use.
WHEN BUILDING PLANTERS:
• Line the inside of the planters or garden beds with a
geotextile fabric to help with water management.
