ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1 - Posts:
Front Posts:
Remove the Left Front Corner Post from the Skybox. Re-
place it with the Left Front Post (C) from the Skybox Wood
Roof box. Use the same fasteners. The Wall Slat closest to
the Post may need to be temporarily removed to facilitate
the swap. Repeat with the Right Front Post (D).
Back Posts:
Remove the Hex Bolt and Washers that hold one end of the
End Wall Support to a Skybox Corner Post. Fit the notch in a
Back Post (B) over the End Wall Support and align the holes.
Make sure the Back Post is aligned with the Corner Post.
Mark with a pencil the position of the lower hole of the Back
Post (B) onto the Corner Post. Drill a 1/4" diameter pilot hole,
2" deep into the Corner Post. Fasten the Back Post (B) using
a 5/16 x 6" Hex Bolt Assembly through the Back Post, End
Wall Support and Corner Post. Use a 5/16 x 5" Lag Screw to
fasten the lower hole in the Back Post (B) to the Corner Post.
Repeat with the other Back Post (B).
Step 2 - Roof:
Position the Roof Assemblies (E) on the Front and Back
Posts with the holes at the top of the Posts aligned with the
holes in the Roof Rafters. The angled end of the Roof Rafter
should be on the inside of the play set.
Fasten each Roof Assembly to each Roof Support using one
5/16 x 4-1/2" Hex Bolt Assembly.
Step 3 - Ceiling Joists:
Adjust the Roof Assemblies so that the angled ends
are even with each other.
With the counter-bored holes facing out, use two
5/16 x 2" Hex Bolt Assemblies to fasten a Ceiling
Joist (A) to the side of each Roof Rafter connecting
both Roof Assemblies.
Use the Hole Caps to cover the counter-bored bolt
holes .
Step 4 - Ridge Cap:
Align Ridge Cap Part A (F) overlapping Ridge Cap Part B
(G) as shown at right. Ensure that the ends of the Ridge
Cap parts align before fastening using #8 x 2" screws. Each
screw should pass through Ridge Cap Part A and into Ridge
Cap Part B. Leave the screw head flush to the surface of
Ridge Cap Part A.
Before putting the Ridge Cap in place, drill a series of 1/8" di-
ameter pilot holes through the top board of each roof panel.
The pilot holes should be at least 3" from the end of the roof
board and approximately 3/4" from the top edge. Space the
pilot holes every 10 to 12 inches.
Put the Ridge Cap in place at the peak of the roof, as shown.
The ends of the Ridge Cap should be flush with the ends of
the roof.
From inside the Gym, fasten the Ridge Cap using #8 x 1-1/4"
screws, through the pilot holes and into the Ridge Cap.
