ASSEMBLY
CROSSBEAM INSTRUCTIONS
• Note: It is recommended for one person to hold the
pre-assembled upright frames in place while a second person
installs the crossbeams.
• Note: Keep the bolt heads of the diagonal pieces of the uprights
on the outside of the assembly (*see first image).
• Note: The top crossbeams have 4 slots for their associated
bench support straps, and the bottom crossbeams have 3
slots for their associated support straps.
STEP 1
• There is a set of locking tabs at both ends of every crossbeam.
To begin assembly, take a crossbeam with 3 slots and insert
the tabs into two of the holes on the lower portion of one
upright frame. Engage the locking tabs into the holes using
a downward motion. The locking bolt hole should be at the
top. Make sure the end of the crossbeam is flush against the
upright frame.
STEP 2
• Repeat for the opposite side of the upright frame. Tap the ends
of the crossbeam closest to the upright frames with a rubber
mallet until fully seated. The crossbeam and locking tabs
should easily slip into place. If they do not, then recheck the
alignment of the teardrop-shaped holes and tabs. Too much
force may damage the interlock between the crossbeam and
upright frame.
STEP 3
• Using the methods listed above, install the other crossbeam
with 3 slots to the opposite side of the upright frames,
parallel to the first crossbeam you installed. Make sure both
crossbeams are at the same level.
STEP 4
• Continue by installing the top sets of crossbeams flush to the
top of the upright frames (each top crossbeam has 4 slots and
one will have the DEWALT®badge on the far right). Make sure
the crossbeams are attached at the same level on both sides.

ASSEMBLY
• Note: There are two (2) safety straps with weld nuts and
three (3) recessed shelf support straps on the bottom set
of crossbeams.
• Note: There are two (2) safety straps with weld nuts and
four (4) bench top support straps on the top set
of crossbeams.
• Note: Top and bottom crossbeams use different support straps.
STEP 1
• Starting with the bottom set of crossbeams, place a safety
strap with weld nut between the lower ridges of the crossbeams
where two sets of holes have been pre-drilled. Thread a safety
strap bolt up through the bottom of the pre-drilled holes and
through the weld nuts, and fully tighten with the included
hex key or drill bit. Repeat for the second strap on this set of
crossbeams, and continue for the last 3 straps.
STEP 2
• On the bottom of the bench, place a recessed shelf support
strap (yellow) perpendicular to the bottom crossbeams,
and insert each end into the channel on each ridge of the
crossbeam. Repeat for the remaining 2 (yellow) straps.
STEP 3
• On the top of the bench, place a bench top support strap
(black) perpendicular to the top crossbeams, and insert each
end into the channel on each ridge of the crossbeam. Repeat
for the remaining 3 (black) straps.

WIRE GRID AND LOCKING SHELF PIN INSTRUCTIONS
• Note: The wire grid consists of two sides – a “short” side
and “long” side. If you plan on sliding objects on and off of
the shelf from the front of the bench, then we recommend
having the “short” side of the grid facing upward. If you
plan on sliding objects from the side of the bench , then we
recommend having the “long” side facing upward.
STEP 1
• Place the wire grid onto the top ridge of the lower set of
crossbeams. If seated properly, the grids will “pop” into place
and lay evenly.
STEP 2
• Place a locking grid clip at the outermost corner of the shelf.
Make sure the rolled edge with the groove is facing upwards.
STEP 3
• With one hand, apply pressure to the back of the clip. With
your free hand, insert a flat-head screwdriver (not included)
into the small slot in the clip to spread the tine up and over the
wire that is underneath.
STEP 4
• Pull back on the screwdriver. The grooved channel in the clip
should now match up with the wire decking, which will help
secure it to the shelf beam.
STEP 5
• Repeat Steps 2-4 for the remaining three corners of the wire grid.
STEP 6
• There is a locking pin hole at both ends of every crossbeam.
This is where the locking shelf pins are to be installed. If a pin
does not easily slip into place, then moderately tap the end of
the crossbeam to fully seat the locking tabs.

CUSHION SEAT INSTRUCTIONS
• Note: Place onto the frame as evenly as possible to ensure the
cushion seats properly.
STEP 1
• Place cushion seat onto the assembled bench frame. The
corner brackets of the cushion seat slide over the outer edges
of the upright frame.
STEP 2
• There is a locking pin hole on each corner bracket of the
cushion seat. This is where the locking shelf pins are to be
installed. If a pin does not easily slip into place, sit on the
corner of the bench to fully seat the locking tabs.
