Step 1: Rock Wall Assembly
A: Lay 2 (BR1) Rock Rails down, side by side with angled edges facing down. (g. 1.1)
B: Place (F1) CE Access Board on the bottom of each (BR1) Rock Rail as shown in g. 1.1. Make sure (F1) CE
Access Board is square and ush to the outside and bottom edges of each (BR1). Attach using 4 (S2) #8 x 1-1/2”
Wood Screws.
C: 8-1/8” down from the top of both (BR1) Rock Rails place 1 (F3) CE Rock Board, making sure the sides are ush
to the outside edges of each (BR1) Rock Rail. Attach using 4 (S2) #8 x 1-1/2” Wood Screws. (g. 1.1)
D: In between the (F1) CE Access Board and (F3) CE Rock Board stagger 2 (F4) and 2 (F3) CE Rock Boards
using 4 (S2) #8 x 1-1/2” Wood Screws per board. Placing them as shown in (g. 1.1), this will prevent rocks from
forming a straight line. Make sure the gap between boards are spaced 2-1/8” and does not exceed 2-3/8”.
E: Place 1 rock on each (F3) and (F4) CE Rock Board
(g. 1.2) and attach using included hardware. The
screw must be in the hole directly under the Pan Bolt, it
will stop the rock from spinning. (g. 1.3)
