Step 2: Layout the Boards for the first level according to the number of the
board in Step 1.
Note: It is especially important to layout Boards 3 & 4in the exact orientation
shown in the diagram below.
The gate Board (Board 1) on level 1 is kept uncut to act as a level surface for the
gate to swing on. You can choose to cut this Board if you want it to be apart of the
swinging gate.
IMPORTANT: If you connect any brackets incorrectly, they can be removed by
inserting a flathead screwdriver into the opening of the snap-lock plugs, pushing into
the nub and twisting upwards.
Step 3: When connecting the boards for the first level, insert the stacking
stakes upside down so the stake is pointing to the sky. This will allow you to
adjust the shape of your frame before driving the stakes into the ground.
Step 3a: With the first level stacking stakes still facing the sky, use bracketed
2ft boards to ensure that the cross Boards will fit by placing the board over
the stacking stakes on the cross-board positions shown below.

Step 4: Once you finish with the adjustments of your base level frame,
remove the Boards sitting on level 2 and hammer the stacking stakes on level
1 into the ground.

STEP 5:
Connect the brackets and boards for the second level in the following pattern:
1. Connect 2x 4ft Boards with Stacking Brackets on
both ends in alternating orientation.
2. Connect 2x 4ft Boards with stacking brackets
on both sides, facing the same orientation.
3. Connect 4x 4ft Boards with a stacking bracket on
one end and a mid-section 4-way bracket on the
other end in alternating orientation.
4. Connect 2x 2ft Boards with a stacking bracket on
one end and a mid-section 4-way bracket on the
other end in alternating orientation.
5. Connect 2x 2ft Boards with a stacking bracket on
one end and a top 4-way bracket on the
other end in alternating orientation.
6. Connect 2x 2ft Boards with mid-section 4-way brackets
on both ends in alternating orientation.
7. Connect 4x 2ft Boards with top 4-way brackets
on both ends, facing the same orientation.
8. Connect 2 x Cut gate Boards with a stacking bracket
on the board end with pre-drilled holes.
NOTE: The gate Boards will only have pre-drilled holes on one end.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS –Animal Barrier Gate
Step 1: Install an adapter cap (Part 21) on top of each of the 10 joints on your final level.
Quantities doubled for 2 level Barrier
NOTE: Part 12 will not be used
if installing the gate to Board
connector

STEP 4a: Take 2 board to timber connectors and fasten them on either side of
the bottom animal barrier gate pole with the screws provided and a power drill.
This will allow the animal barrier gate and board gate to swing as a complete
door.
STEP 4b: For a 3-level design, take your metal gate brace and fasten it over 2 of
the left gate boards with the screws provided and a power drill. Install the gate
braces on the inside portion of the garden and make sure that the screw holes
are not over the edge where the 2 boards meet (see picture).
Repeat this step for the right gate. For a 4-level design, install
an additional gate brace on each door.
