1. Place panel assemblies on posts as shown (Fig.1) allowing a 2” gap between
the bottom of the post and the bottom edge of the bottom rail on the panel
assembly.
Note: Assemble with the help of another adult!
2. With a 1/8” drill bit, predrill holes as shown in figure 2.
3. Fasten the panel assembles to the post and Panel Clips with a S5- 1” Pan
Head Screw provided in location of circles. (Fig. 1)
*Posts must be securely installed to support structure. Consult local
building codes and ground conditions for required footing design. It is
recommended the structure be secured to existing stone, concrete or
deck.

Symbols
Throughout these instructions symbols are provided as important reminders for proper and safe assembly.
Proper Hardware Assembly
Lag screws require drilling pilot
holes to avoid splitting wood. Only
a flat washer is required. For ease of
installation liquid soap can be used
on all lag-type screws.
For bolts, tap T-Nut into hole with
hammer. Insert the hex bolt through
lock washer first then flat washer then
hole. Because the assemblies need to
be squared do not completely tighten
until instructed. Pay close attention to
diameter of the bolts. 5/16” is slightly
larger than 1/4”.
Note:
Wafer head bolts with blue lock
tight or a bolt with a Ny-Lok nut do
NOT require a lock washer.
Once the assembly is tightened, watch for exposed
threads. If a thread protrudes from the T-Nut, remove
the bolt and add washers to eliminate this condition.
Extra washers have been provided for this purpose.
This identifies information that requires special
attention. Improper assembly could lead to an
unsafe or dangerous condition.
Where this is shown, 2 or 3
people are required to safely
complete the step. To avoid
injury or damage to the
assembly make sure to get help!
Check that assembly is square
before tightening bolts.
Use a measuring tape to assure
proper location.
Check that set or assembly is properly level
before proceeding.
Pre-drill a pilot hole
before fastening screw
or lag to prevent
splitting of wood.
This indicates time to tighten bolts, but
not too tight! Do not crush the wood.
This may create splinters and cause
structural damage.
