Counter Sun Hole
Through Hole
This page is a list of definitions and explanations used throughout our
instructions to aid you in the assembly of your play set.
Offset Holes
Throughout the installation procedures e ill refer to parts ith offset
holes. This refers to the orientation of the holes on the oard. An offset hole is one that
is closer to one side than it is the other or in other ords it is not centered on the oard.
In the procedures you ill e instructed to attach the oards ith the holes offset up or
ith the holes offset do n. This refers to hich side of the oard the hole/holes should
e closer to. Offset holes up hole/holes ill e closer to the top of the oard. Offset
holes do n hole/holes ill e closer to the ottom of the oard. Note: some parts do
not ha e offset holes ut instead the holes are on center. Therefore there ill not e
any reference on ho to offset these parts.

Counter-sunk holes
Many of the parts that ill e used ha e counter sun holes. A
counter sun hole is one that surrounds one side of a through hole ut does not e tend
through the ood it s self. When using a counter sun hole the olt ill e inserted
through the through hole and either the head of the olt and asher or nut and asher
ill occupy the counter sun hole.
Lag Screws
Lag scre s are used in the construction of our play sets to enhance
the structural integrity of the unit. There ill not e predrilled holes in the post for lag
scre installation. Lag scre s are self tapping though if you are using a manual soc et
rench it may e ad antageous to pre drill a hole rst. Instructions for this are pro ided
on a separate page in the front of the manual. Be sure to tighten the lags completely
hen dri ing them in y hand. Po er tools such as a hea y duty impact dri er or large
po er drill should ha e enough tor ue to dri e in the lag scre s ut ma e sure not to
o er tighten as this can cause the threads to strip out in the post.
