The following steps include instructions for installing wall slats as shown on the cover of this guide. Plan the wall slat 

positions according to your layout. In general, try to provide passage wider than 15" for any event. The opening for 

a slide should be 24" or wider. 

It is extremely important to never leave a gap of 

more than 3-1/2" unless that gap is wider than 9"

A gap larger than 3-1/2" might allow a child's body to 

slip through leaving the child's head trapped. A head 

entrapment can be deadly.

STEP 21 — Front Wall Slats:

Fasten three Wall Slats (U) to the front platform end and the front 

end tent support, as shown. Use four #10 x 1-5/8" screws in each 

wall slat. Leave approximately 2-3/4" between each wall slat. The 

bottom of all wall slats should be spaced approximately 1/2" 

above the platform surface.
Parts have been omitted from the illustration for clarity.
Hint: Use the Slide Mount (K) to make sure there is enough room 

for the slide.

STEP 22 — Rear Wall Slats:

Fasten six Wall Slats (U) to the rear platform end and the rear end 

tent support, as shown. Use four #10 x 1-5/8" screws in each wall 

slat.
Leave approximately 2-1/2" between each wall slat, except in the 

center where there may be a conflict with the tent post. In the 

center the gap will be 3-1/4"

Parts have been omitted from the illustration for clarity.

STEP 23 — Left Wall Slats:

Fasten nine Wall Slats (U) to the left platform side and the left 

wall support, as shown. Use four #10 x 1-5/8" screws in each wall 

slat. Leave approximately 3" between each wall slat.

Parts have been omitted from the illustration for clarity.
