Proper Hardware Assembly
Bolt and T-Nut Assembly
Tap T-nut into the provided hole. Insert your bolt through the lock washer and
insert it into the provided hole opposite the T-Nut. Turn clockwise to thread
into T-nut. Do not completely tighten until instructed.
Bolt and Barrel Nut Assembly
Insert barrel nut through the lock washer and press the pair through the
provided hole. Insert your bolt through the second lock washer and insert the
pair into the provided hole opposite the barrel nut. Turn clockwise to thread
into the barrel nut. Do not completely tighten until instructed.
Lag Assembly
Normally there will be a pre-drilled pilot hole on assemblies that require a
Lag Screw. If there is no pilot hole, line up the two boards as they are to be
attached and use the factory drilled hole as a guide to drill another pilot
hole into the adjoining board. This will keep the wood from splitting. Only a
lock washer is required for steps with Lag Screws.
ASSEMBLY TIP:
Keep and eye out for these boxes which will contain helpful pictures and
information making the assembly process as quick and painless as possible.
Sorting Wood
When removing the wood from the boxes we
recommend arranging them by part number before you begin assembly. This will
allow for faster assembly and easily identify any parts that may be missing or
damaged.
Sorting Hardware
To help with assembly we recommend sorting your hardware bags with the
seven-digit alpha-numeric number printed on the bags or by hardware type (i.e.
bolts, nuts, etc.). Organizing your hardware will make assembly easier.
Hardware bags are printed with a seven-digit alpha-numeric part number. During
assembly, you only need to reference the last three digits of the part number
as noted in each step. This will make finding the correct hardware easier.
