attention. Improper assembly could lead to an
unsafe or dangerous condition.
1. Place panel assemblies on posts as shown (Fig.1) allowing a 4" 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. W ith a 1/8" drill bit, predrill holes as shown in figure 2.
3. F asten the panel assembles to the post and Panel Clips with a S5- 1" Pan Head Screw provided in location of
circles. (Fig. 1)
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.
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.

Pre-drill 1/8" & 3/16" Bit
Pre-drill a pilot hole
before fastening screw

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.
