This illustration shows the installation of individual deck boards into the first half of the frame (7a). 
(Disregard this step and the next step if you will be making removable deck panels.) Once you are at 
the halfway point, install and tighten the screws and locknuts that attach the remaining Intermediate 
Crossmember (7b). Use the Hex Bit to fully tighten the Stainless Steel Tapered Head Screw while 
holding in place the Stainless Steel Nylon Locknut with a 3/8” Box End Wrench.

NOTE:

 When assembling the frame components, if you encounter holes that do not line up exactly, it 

is acceptable to use a drill to ream out the holes slightly for the fasteners to fit appropriately.
