Part 2
Note: The bevelled ends on each gusset should always face away from the wood it is attaching to.

Make sure each Short Side assembly is square with the Main Post then facing one Short Beam Assembly from
the outside place one (705) Gusset RT on the right hand side so the top fits tight to the Beam Assembly and the

lock washer, 1/4-5/16” large washer and 5/16” t-nut). Pre-drill with a 1/8” drill bit then attach gusset to Main Post,
with three 1/4 x 1-15/16” Lag Screws (with 1/4-5/16” large washer). (F5.4 and F5.5)

Repeat Step C on the left hand side with one (706) Gusset LT. (F5.4 and F5.5)
