Assembly Instructions
Tier: Steps Module
Before building any Tier modules, ensure that metal under-frames are positioned roughly in the positions in which
the configuration will sit. This will allow for connecting individual modules more efficiently later on in the build.
Components & Fixing Kit
Tier Steps module requires at least 2 people to
build and assemble. Tier Steps module will always be
supplied with the following components:
• Symmetrical metal under-frame
• Steps hollow modules
• Back balustrade
• Fixing kit
• M6x40 furniture bolts
If carpet tiles are specified, these will be additionally
supplied. They will need to be cut down on site and
secured with adhesive to Tier modules.
1. Place steps hollow module over the top of the symmetrical metal under-frame. Ensure that the steps
hollow module sits on top of the symmetrical metal under-frame grooves, which will secure the steps
module in place.
Attaching back balustrade: If connecting a Tier Angled module to another module then do not attach
balustrade until these modules are connected together. Please see page 7 before returning to complete.
2. Locate and face back balustrade to the top of the Tier Steps module. Attach the back balustrade to
steps and secure with 4x M6x40 furniture bolts. Balustrade is now attached.
If carpet tiles are specified for Tier Steps module, they will need to be cut down and attached with adhesive
once complete configuration is connected.
