ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 12 — Stringer:

Fasten the Stringer (T) to the Platform Front and Platform 

Back using two 1/4 x 3" Lag Screws and Flat Washers as 

shown.

STEP 13 — Deck Boards: 

Locate the nine Deck Boards (X) and three Narrow Deck 

Boards (Y). 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 #10 

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 exactly with the Midposts. 

 

STEP 14 — Assemble Roof Panels:

Assembly of the Roof Panels will be easiest on a work table 

or other flat surface.
Lay Out Roof Rafters:

Butt the square-cut end of two Rafters (V) against a straight 

flat surface. Align the Rafters so they are parallel and the 

ends aligned and square. The distance between the Rafters 

should be 30". Measure from corner to corner both ways. 

When the two diagonal measurements are the same, the 

rafters are square.
