Step 2: Ladder Assembly (if applicable)
It is recommended that the unfinished ladder rail sides and steps are lightly hand sanded with a
220 grit sanding pad just prior to finishing the ladder (stain, paint, clear coat sealer).
It is also much easier to finish the ladder prior to assembly.
1. Stand on edge one of the ladder side rails on a flat surface, dados facing away from you.
2. Insert one of the steps into the dado, aligning the compound miter of the step flush with
the dadoed surface of the side rail. If not flush, flip and/or rotate the step until it lines up
properly with the side rail
(see the following page)
.
c. For the Corner Brace/Bracket (PL.40CRVBKT series) used in conjunction with the 90º, 30” radius curved rails
(see diagrams below)
• Install the Corner Brace/Bracket by measuring from the inside corner of the 90-degree trim boards out 23
1/4
” for
both sides.
• Attach the brace to the shelving unit at the desired height from the floor.
• Remove the top piece on the horizontal rail bracket that is attached to the Corner Brace.
• On the curved rail, mark the halfway point on the rail, this is where the horizontal bracket on the corner brace will
be located.
• On the trim, measure from the inside corner out approximately 42” on both sides, this will be the location of the
two additional rail brackets.
• Follow Steps 3a or 3b above to install these additional rail brackets.
• Reattach the center rail bracket and add two additional brackets towards each end of the curved rail, secure
these brackets to the shelving unit.
• Additional rails can then be added to the curved rail as needed by using the wooden dowel to connect them.
