ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 18 — Fasten Ridge Cap to Roof:
Before putting the ridge cap in place, drill a series of 1/8" di-
ameter pilot holes through the top board of each roof panel.
The pilot holes should be at least 3" from the end of the roof
board and approximately 3/4" from the top edge. Space the
pilot holes every 10 to 12 inches.
Put the ridge cap in place at the peak of the roof, as shown.
The ends of the ridge cap should be flush with the ends of
the roof.
From inside the tower, fasten the ridge cap using #8 x 1-1/4"
screws, through the pilot holes and into the ridge cap.
STEP 19 — Back Wall Support:
Now the roof is in place, fasten the back End Wall Support
(AC) to the corner posts above the back platform end using
four 5/16 x 4" hex bolt assemblies.

Now the basic tower is assembled, it's time to decide where the accessory play features will mount. Consult the
package guide for your specific layout. Install the accessory play features before installing wall slats.
This document continues with the access ladder and slide installation required for almost all packages. Be sure to
adapt the placement for your play package.

STEP 20 — Access Ladder:
Loosely fasten two Access Brackets to the Access Ladder (BB)
using one 5/16" x 1-1/2" hex bolt assembly each, as shown.
Rest the ladder against the platform side. Make sure the bottom
is securely on the ground. The left edge of the access ladder
should be 11" from the end of the platform side.
Check behind the platform support where the brackets rest for
interference before drilling. The brackets can be mounted to the
inside of the ladder rails if needed. Mark and drill 3/8" diameter
holes through the platform side. Fasten each bracket to the
platform side using one 5/16 x 1-1/2" hex bolt assembly.
Note: The access ladder can be mounted on any side of the
gym, provided the placement does not interfere with other
accessories. The access ladder must be mounted well clear of
any swing accessories. Provide space to mount entrance slats
and hand grips on either side of the access ladder.
