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.
