Step 31 — gable filler:
fasten the gable filler (Af) inside the end roof rafters, snug
against the bottom of the gable fan as shown. use four #8
x 1-5/8" Screws.
Repeat with the other gable filler at the other end of the
roof.
Step 32 — Safety Rail:
A Safety Rail is required to keep children from wandering
into the path of swings that are in use. The appropriate Safe-
ty Rail to use depends on which side the gym a swing struc-
ture will be mounted.
for a swing structure projecting from the gable end of the
gym use the longer Safety Rail with three holes (AJ). for a
swing structure projecting from the dormer side of the gym
use the shorter Safety Rail with two holes (A).
drill 1/4" diameter pilot holes 24" up from the bottom of the
Posts where the Safety Rail is to be mounted.
fasten the Safety Rail using 5/16 x 3" lag Screws with 5/16"
flat Washers as shown.
Step 33 — Wall Slats:
determine the position of Access ladder, Slide, and any
other accessory to be mounted to the gym. make sure that
no accessory is in line with swings.
Place Wall Slats (S) and entrance Wall Slats (R) around the
perimeter of the porch, leaving appropriate openings for ac-
cess. Typically the opening for an Access ladder will be 17";
an opening for a slide will be 25".
fasten the Wall Slats to the inside of the Platform and Wall
Supports using four #8 x 1-5/8" Screws each. The Slats
should be evenly spaced. use entrance Wall Slats on either
side of the Access ladder opening.
important: When placing Wall Slats, never
leave a gap larger than 3-1/4" except at access
points, where the gap must be larger than 9".
