ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Step 13 — Angle Braces (continued.):

Level the play set. Plumb the Posts. Tighten all connections 

except the Angle Braces. Do not over tighten.
Position  all  of  the Angle  Braces  with  the  angled  ends  flat 

against the Post nearest to each. With a pencil, mark the 

position where the holes in the Angle Braces rest against the 

Posts. At each mark drill a 3/16" diameter x 2" pilot hole in 

the Posts. Fasten the Angle Braces to the Corner Posts us-

ing one 5/16 x 3" Lag Screw and Flat washer in each Angle 

Brace (B).
Note: The Stringers have been omitted from the illustration 

for clarity.

Step 15 — Narrow Platform Boards:

Locate three Narrow Platform Boards (G). Two can be found 

in one box and third is in another. Place the Narrow Platform 

Boards as shown. The edge of the boards should align with 

the corner of the adjacent Post. Fasten the Narrow Platform 

Boards to the Stringers with eight #8 x 2" Flat Head Wood 

Screws for each board.

G

Step 14 — Stringer Flanges:

If your gym is to be assembled with the lower Clubhouse 

option, omit this step.

 Just make sure that the Clubhouse 

panel is snug against the bottom of the stringers to lend sup-

port to the center of the platform.
Position one Stringer Flange (AF) under a set of Center and 

Inner Stringers. It should center on the Stringers, equidistant 

from the Left & Right Platform Supports. The holes are not 

symmetrically placed; rotate the Flange so the holes land 

on the stingers and not on a gap. Drill a 3/16" Pilot hole 1" 

deep into the stringer and fasten the Stringer Flange using 

1/4 x 1-1/2" Lag Screws and 1/4" Flat Washers. Continue 

securing the Stringer Flange to the Stringers with pilot hole 

and Lag Screws.
Repeat with the two other Stringer Flanges and Stringer 

sets.

Use 3/16" dia. pilot holes
