Lag Assembly
Normally there will be a pre-drilled pilot hole on assemblies
that require a Lag Screw. If there is no pilot hole, line up the
two boards as they are to be attached and use the factory
drilled hole as a guide to drill another pilot hole into the
adjoining board. This will keep the wood from splitting. Only a
lock washer is required for steps with Lag Screws.

LAG SCREW
If you see exposed
threads and your bolt
protrudes beyond the
T-Nut you may have over
tightened the bolt or
used incorrect hardware.
If you’ve overtightened,
remove the bolt and add
washers to eliminate the
protrusion.
