The instructions on this page are for the installation of the Pinnacle Rock Wall to the back of a
gym with a gambrel (barn-shaped) tent only. If your gym has a hooped tent or a wooden roof,
these preparations are not necessary.
Remove Wall Slats and Back Tent Post:
If your gym is fully assembled, remove the gambrel tent
and the center tent pipe. Remove the back Tent Post and
the Wall Slats from the back wall of the gym.
Be sure to save the Tent, Pipes, Wall Slats and all of the
hardware for reassembly.
Install New Center Post:
Put the Center Tent Pipe in place. Using the 5/16 x 2-1/2"
Hex Bolt Assemblies from the original Tent Post, fasten
the Center Post (I) to the End Tent Support. Re-fasten the
Center Tent Pipe.
Use a level to make sure the Center Post is plumb. Drill
a 3/8" diameter hole through the hole in the bottom of the
Center Post and then through the Platform End. Fasten
the Center Post using one 5/16 x 3" Hex Bolt Assemblies.
Restore Wall Slats:
Evenly space three Wall Slats between each gym Corner
Post and the new Center Post. Fasten them using
the original screws. The gap between boards will be
approximately 2-1/4".
Prepare Bench Seat:
Use a saw to cut a notch to t around the new Tent Post.
Cut the notch in the side without holes. The dimensions of
the notch are shown at right.
When fastening the Bench to the gym. Fit the notch around
the Tent Post.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1 — Assemble Bench Step:
Layout the two Bench Supports (G) so that they can be
attached to each end of the Bench Cleat (H), lay the Bench
Seat (F) on top and centered, see illustration.
Fasten the two Bench Supports (G) to the Bench Cleat (H)
using one #8 x 2-1/2" Phillips Head Screw to fasten each
board. Fasten the Bench Seat (F) to the Bench Supports (F)
and the Bench Cleat (H) using seven #8 x 2-1/2" Phillips Head
Screws, see illustration.
NOTE: The Bench Step is used on installation to any
Standard Gym. It is not needed on Skybox installation.
STEP 2 — Attach Bench Step to Playset:
Place the assembled Bench Step along the Rear Wall of your
Playset. Make sure it sits at against the Rear Wall and the
Floor Boards.
Fasten the Bench Step to the Rear Wall in at least four places,
using #8 x 2-1/2" Phillips Head Screws through the Wall Slats
into the back of the Bench Seat from the back of the Gym.
Fasten the Bench Step to the Floor Boards using four
#8 x 2-1/2" Screws, two in each Bench Support. Screw
through the Floor Board from below into the bottom of each
Bench Support.
NOTE: Some wall slats removed from illustration for
clarity.

STEP 5 — Attach Center Angled Rail:
Attach the Center Rail (B) to the center of the back of the
boards. Align the bottom of the Center Rail with the bottom
of the two outside Rails. Fasten the Center Rail using #10 x
2-1/2" T25 Deck Screws from the front of the Rock Climber.
Drill a 1/8" diameter pilot hole for each screw.
STEP 4 — Assemble Rock Wall:
Set the two Angled Rails (A) approximately 37-3/4" apart.
Fasten a Rock Board (C) 5-1/2" from the top of the Angled
Rails using four #10 x 2-1/2" T25 Deck Screws. Make sure to
leave enough space for the Top Rope Board. The Rock Board
must be at a right angle to the Rails. Drill a 1/8" diameter
pilot hole for each screw.
Starting at the top, lay out the remaining Rock Boards and
Spacer Boards (D) in the pattern shown in the illustration,
alternating the direction of the holes in the Rock Boards. Leave
1/4" to 3/8" gaps between the boards. The shaft of a 1/4" Bolt
or 1/4" Weld Nut can be used to gauge the gaps. Use four
#10 x 2-1/2" Deck Screws to fasten each board. Leave off
the Top Rope Board (E), at the top of the Rock Climber, until
the unit is fastened to the gym. Drill a 1/8" diameter pilot
hole for each screw.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 6 — Remove Wall Slats:
(Skybox installation only)
The Pinnacle Rock Wall must be fastened to the rear of your
Skybox. Create one opening, 22"-24" wide, in the rear wall of
your Skybox by removing three Wall Slats (see illustration).
Save the removed Wall Slats in case they are needed for
repair or replacement.

STEP 7— Attach Brackets:
Attach the Access Ladder Brackets to the Angled Rails of the
Rock Climber Assembly using the holes provided. Use One
5/16 x 2-1/2" Hex Bolt, one Lock Washer, one Flat Washer,
and one Weld Nut to fasten each Access Ladder Bracket.
Note: The Access Ladder Bracket can be mounted to the
inside or outside of the Angled Rails.

drill holes
STEP 8 — Attach Rock Climber:
Lean the Rock Climber Assembly into place against the
Support in the position desired. Position the Access Ladder
Brackets with one surface at against the surface of the Plat-
form Support. Mark the position of the holes in the Brackets
onto the Support.
If the Access Ladder Bracket is to be fastened to the Support
only, drill a hole at the mark using a 3/8" diameter drill bit.
Any Wall Slats that may interfere should be removed. Fasten
each Access Ladder Bracket to the Support using one 5/16"
x 1-1/2" Hex Bolt , one Lock Washer, one Flat Washer, and
one Weld Nut.
If the Wall Support is backed by a Corner Post or any other
solid structure, drill a 1/4" diameter hole 2" deep. Fasten with
a 5/16 x 2-1/2" Lag Screw and Flat Washer.
Note: When mounting to a Skybox, fasten the Brackets to the
Platform Support.

STEP 12 — Fasten Climbing Rope:
The Climbing Rope Assembly comes pre-knotted on
approximately 12" centers. This is done to prevent the rope
from separating and provide a better grip. DO NOT MODIFY
THE DESIGN OF THIS ROPE. IF THE ROPE IS REPLACED,
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT YOU MAINTAIN THE
SAME DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.
The top end of the Rope MUST be installed through the hole
provided in the Top Rope Board (E) and the hole that was
drilled in Step 9. Pull the Rope through the holes and tie a
knot in the end as shown in the illustration.
Pre-stretch the rope before tieing the bottom end. The bottom
end of the Rope MUST be installed under the bottom spacer
Board and through the hole in the Center Rail. Pull the Rope
through the hole until it is tight and tie a knot in the end as
shown in the illustration.
Check the rope periodically to ensure that it has not loosened.
Tighten the rope when necessary.
WARNING: AT NO TIME SHOULD THE BOTTOM END OF
THE ROPE BE UNTIED OR LOOSE ENOUGH TO FORM A
LOOP. THIS WOULD PRESENT AN EXTREME DANGER
TO YOUR CHILDREN.
