If your 2x4’s are not already cut to size:
Lay all nine 2x4’s on the ground, square the ends so all are the same length.

With all 2x4’s now the same length, cut two 2x4’s 12

these shorter 2x4’s aside for later use.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO PAINT OR FINISH THE
LUMBER, NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO DO IT.
CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR CONVERTING TABLE IS
NOW COMPLETED AND READY TO ENJOY!
To convert to a table: Flip top up and push the
Slide Locks
inward
until they snap into place, flush with pivot.
To convert to a Bench: Pull the
Slide Locks
fully front, and then flip the
top down.
NOTE: We have provided a notch in the back of the pivot if you wish to
secure two Converting Tables together to make a full-size picnic table. If you
choose to do this, insert a
5/16
" x 1
1/2
" bolt (not included) through the notches
of the matched Pivots and secure with a
5/16
" nut (not included).
To make the seat, position the first of the remaining three 2x4’s at the
front edge of the Bench Ends, and squared with the table top. Fasten
underneath through the screw slots, inside and out, with 12 of the
screws provided. Position and fasten the last (2) 2x4’s, squared and
spaced about
1/4
" apart.

will be more overhang and

Make sure the
Slide Locks
are in the open position and the front (open slide
lock end) is installed exactly as shown in the above Diagram!
Fit tops of Bench Ends into Pivots. Secure as shown with Pivot Bolts and Jam
Nuts provided. Turn the Bench upright.
NOTE: The Jam Nuts are locking-type so they do not loosen after
assembly, and will tighten with some difficulty. Use Wrenches
to make certain Jam Nuts are snug in order to avoid wobble in
the table top. (Do not over tighten, typically when one thread
shows out of the Jam Nut, it is tightened properly.)

Lay four long 2x4’s on the ground, ends squared.

Place the Pivots, “FRONTS” (open end) to you, on top of the 2x4’s and
5" in from the ends. Make sure the outer 2x4’s are flush with the front
and back of the Pivots and squared at the ends.
Space the inner 2x4’s evenly
(about
1/4
" apart, or approximately the
width of a pencil). Drill pilot holes into 2x4’s through screw holes in
pivots and fasten with 16 of the screws provided.
ATTENTION: IF THE PIVOTS AND SLIDE LOCKS ARE NOT CORRECTLY
POSITIONED, THE CONVERTING TABLE WILL NOT WORK PROPERLY.
