Important Assembly Notes
1) While assembling unit, take time before and after each phase
to make sure Fort is level. If fort is not level, assembly will be
difficult and improper assembly may result. Extra care must
be taken to assure the fort is square on the phases that
include this symbol in Fig i.
Note: It is vital that the fort
be level before and
after this phase!

incorrect hardware may result in improper assembly.
6) Read the steps of each phase thoroughly. The written steps may include important information not
shown in the illustrations.
4) Pay close attention to the "Items needed" and "Hardware needed" sections of each phase. They can
be a valuable aid when sorting your wood and hardware. Assembly will be made easier if items are
sorted by phase.
