Assembly
Important:
When inserting the BOARDS and PANELS into
the CORNERS, make sure they are fully seated. Any gaps between the
wood and the CORNER will prevent proper alignment with screw holes.
NOTE:
Assembly is easiest with two people.
1.
Identify and organize all parts on a clean, level surface.
NOTE:
BOARDS may have a rough side and a smooth side. The FLOOR
PLANKS may be different widths.
2.
Examine the VENTS on the BOARDS and notice how the louvers are slanted (
Fig. 1
). Using
Fig. 2
as a reference, place three 8"H or
seven 4"H BOARDS and one BOARD WITH VENT on a flat surface, with the smoothest sides facing down, the VENT facing down,
and the louvers on the VENT slanted toward the bottom of the PANEL. Line up the ends of the BOARDS and press them tightly
together.
NOTE:
We recommend using a clamp or having another person hold them firmly together.
3.
Slide a CORNER onto the ends of the BOARDS, positioning it so the holes in the CORNER match
Fig. 2
.
NOTE:
The top BOARD
should sit 1/8" above the top of the CORNER. Make sure the BOARDS are tight together and are fully seated in the CORNER, then
use your screw gun to insert SCREWS through the holes, skipping the 4th hole from the top. Repeat to attach another CORNER
onto the other side of the BOARDS.
4.
Examine a PLATFORM SUPPORT to find the side with 4 holes. Using the ASSEMBLED PANEL as a reference, align the holes in the
ends of the SUPPORT with the open holes in the CORNERS (
Figs. 2 & 3
). Insert a SCREW into both sets of holes.
