sTEP 10 – Deck boards:
Locate the nine Deck Boards (BX) and three Narrow Deck
Boards (BY) and lay them across the platform supports and
Stringer in the arrangement shown at right. Align the ends of
the Deck boards; the Narrow Deck Boards fit between the
uprights.
Starting at the front of the gym fasten each board using #8 x
1-5/8" Screws. For the first four boards, leave a gap of 1/8"
or less to limit the possibility of clothing being snagged when
children use the slide. Space the rest of the boards evenly.
Note that the Narrow deck board between the Midposts
need not align perfectly with the Midposts.
sTEP 11 – Ladders:
Fit five 15" Rungs (CT) into the holes in the Left Ladder Rail
(K) and the Right Ladder Rail (L). Set the assembly flat on
a solid surface. Make sure that the rungs are completely
inserted with the ends of the rungs snug against the bottom
of the holes.
use #10 x 1-1/2" Self-Drilling Screws, through the holes
provided, to fasten the rungs in place. (The Self-Drilling
Screws have a drill-bit tip. Point the screw toward the center
of rung diameter and press firmly. Do not sink the head of
the screw beyond flush with the surface of the wood). Fasten
the Ladder Slat (DA) 2-1/4" from the top of the Ladder Rails
using four #8 x 1-5/8" Screws.
Assemble the Center Ladder Rail (BP), the Roof Ladder Rail
(BQ) and two 18" Rungs as shown at right. Fasten the rungs
using #10 x 1-1/2" Self-Drilling Screws in the same manner
as used for the Access Ladder.
sTEP 12 – Left Wall & Roof supports:
Before this step, check the top two holes in the Midposts (D).
If a 1/4" bolt will not fit through the holes, make them bigger
using a 5/16" drill.
Orient the Left Wall Support (BF) with the four small holes
closest to the top edge of the boards as shown at right. Fas-
ten the Left Wall Support to the left front post using a 1/4 x
2" Hex Bolt Assembly though the top hole and a 1/4 x 2" Lag
Screw with Flat Washer in the bottom hole.
Fasten the Left Wall Support to the left Midpost and one
Roof upright (N) using two 1/4 x 3-1/2" Hex Bolt Assemblies
as shown.
Fasten the Left Wall Support to the back left post and Gym
Roof Support (BS) using one 1/4" x 3-1/2" Hex Bolt Assem-
bly through the top hole only.
