Install two pre-drilled and counter-sank
1" x 4" x 29
Z\x
" boards 1" below the edge of the
opening as shown. Equally space them between
the 2" x 4" x 44
Z|v
" boards. Secure each board with
#8 x 1
Z\x
" deck screws. Do not overtighten
the screws.
Note: Gap between boards must be more than
Z⁄x
" or a finger entrapment could exist.
Helpful Hint: The gap between boards should be
approximately
M⁄,
".
Caution: Failure to pre-drill and
counter-sink the boards may
result in split lumber.

Helpful Hint:
This step is better achieved
if you tip the tower over on its side, so you
don’t fight gravity. Two adults are required
to tip the tower over. Keep the tower tipped
over on its side until you complete Step 7.
Attach four pre-drilled and counter-sank
1" x 4" x 44" boards and six pre-drilled and
counter-sank 1" x 4" x 29
Z\x
" boards as
shown. The 1" x 4" x 44" boards should
be flush with the top of the tower. The
1" x 4" x 29
Z\x
" boards should be 1" below
the edge of the window opening. Equally
space the boards. Secure each board with
#8 x 1
Z\x
" deck screws. Do not overtighten
the screws.
The gap between boards
should be approximately
C\zn
".
Note: The top two holes of the 1" x 4" x 44" boards must
be secured from the inside of the tower. You will need to
countersink from the side you are working.
Caution:
Failure to pre-drill
and counter-sink the
boards may result in
split lumber.
Gap between boards must be less than
Z⁄v
" or a finger entrapment could exist.
