• DO NOT climb or walk on the roof for any reason
• Requires two or more people to assemble safely
• Check for underground utilities before digging or
driving stakes into the ground.
• Check carefully for overhead lines and ensure there is
at least 6ft (2m) clearance from any overhead electrical
wires.
• Permanent structures may require a building permit.
As the purchaser and or installer of this product you are
advised to consult local planning, zoning and building
inspection departments for guidance on applicable
building codes and/or zoning requirements.
• Wood is NOT ame retardant and will burn. Grills, re pits
and chimineas are a re hazard if place too close to your
structure.
• Wear gloves to avoid injury during installation.
• During installation, follow all safety warnings provided
with your tools and use safety glasses.
• Check all nuts and bolts twice monthly during the usage
season and tighten as required.(But not so tight that you
crack the wood) It is particularly important that this
procedure be followed at the beginning of each season.
• Oil all metallic moving parts monthly during the usage
period.
• Check all coverings for bolts and sharp edges twice
monthly during usage season to be certain they are in
place. Replace when necessary. It is especially important
to do this at the beginning of each new season.
• For rusted areas on metallic members such as hinges,
brackets, etc. sand and repaint, using a non lead-based
paint meeting the requirements of Title 16 CRF Part 1303.
• Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of the wood
sometimes will lift in the dry season causing splinters to
appear. Light sanding may be necessary to maintain a
safe environment. Treating your Product with protection
(sealant) after sanding will help prevent severe checking/
splitting and other weather damage.
• We have applied a waterborne translucent stain to your
unit. This is done for color only. Once or twice a year,
depending on your climate conditions, you must apply
some type of protection (sealant) to the wood of your unit.
Prior to the application of sealant, lightly sand any “rough”
spots on your set. Please note this is a requirement of
your warranty.
OWNERS SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE LEGIBILITY OF THE WARNING LABELS
IT IS IMPORTANT TO CHECK AND TIGHTEN ALL HARDWARE AT THE BEGINNING AND DURING
THE SEASON AS THEY MAY LOOSEN DUE TO WOOD EXPANSION AND CONTRACTION.

About Our Wood
Backyard Discovery uses 100% Cedar (C. Lanceolata) wood. Although we take great care in
selecting the best quality lumber available, wood is still a product of nature and susceptible
to weathering which can change the appearance of your set.
Your Backyard Discovery structure is designed and constructed of quality
materials. As with all outdoor products it will weather and wear. To maximize
the enjoyment, safety and life of your structure it is important that you properly
maintain it.
What causes weathering? Does it aect
the strength of my product?
One of the main reasons for weathering is the
eects of water (moisture); the moisture content
of the wood at the surface is dierent than the
interior of the wood. As the climate changes,
moisture moves in or out of the wood, causing
tension which can result in checking and or
warping. You can expect the following due to
weathering. These changes will not aect the
strength of the product:
1. Checking is surface cracks in the wood along
the grain. A post (4”x 4”) will experience more
checking than a board (1”x 4”) because the surface
and interior moisture content will vary more widely
than in thinner wood.
2. Warping results from any distortion (twisting,
cupping) from the original plane of the board and
often happens from rapid wetting and drying of
the wood.
3. Fading happens as a natural change in the
wood color as it is exposed to sun-light and will
turn grey over time.
How can I reduce the amount of
weathering to wood product?
1. Your wood product is coated with a
water-based stain.Sunlight will break down
the coating, so we recommend applying
a water repellent or stain on a yearly basis
(see your local stain and paint supplier for a
recommended product). You must apply some
type of protection (sealant) to the wood of your
product. Please note this is a requirement
of your warranty. Most weathering is just
the normal result of nature and will not aect
safety. However if you are concerned that a part
has experienced a severe weathering problem
please call our customer service department for
further assistance.
2. Inspect wood parts monthly. The grain of
the wood sometimes will lift in the dry season
causing splinters to appear. Light sanding may
be necessary to maintain a safe environment.
Treating your Product with protection (sealant)
after sanding will help prevent severe checking/
splitting and other weather damage.

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 from the barrel nut. Turn clockwise to thread into the
barrel nut. Do not completely tighten until instructed. /2&.:$6+(5

Bolt and T-Nut Assembly
Tap T-nut into the provided hole. Insert your bolt through

from the T-Nut. Turn clockwise to thread into T-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. /2&.:$6+(5
/$*6&5(:
If you see exposed
threads and your bolt
protrudes beyond the
T-Nut you may have over
tightened the bolt or
used incorrect hardware.
If you’ve overtightened,
remove the bolt and add
washers to eliminate the
protrusion.

Hardware Identication
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 nding
the correct hardware easier.

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
Sorting Hardware
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.
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.

The hardware to attach the post mounts to the structure is included.
The hardware to mount the structure permanently to a concrete surface is included.
The hardware to mount the structure permanently to a wood deck is NOT included and will need to be purchased
separately. You must ensure there is ample structural support under the deck before permanently attaching.
Post mounts are provided with your structure which allows you to permanently install your structure to a
pre-existing or new wood or concrete surface.
Pay close attention to the items needed for each step. Make sure you are using the correct hardware for each
step. Using incorrect hardware may result in improper assembly
Remember to double check for underground utilities and overhead electrical lines
It is critically important that you start with square and level footings, concrete pad or deck to
attach your structure
