Assembly Instructions
The Post
Step 1 –The Foot
You will need:
-The Foot Components (1 & 2)
-2x 40mm pozi screws (D)
The Foot is made up of two components (1 & 2)
Cross the two components over, ensuring that the three holes (2) remain on top.
Fix together using 2x screws (D), in the outer holes.
IMPORTANT: Do not fix together using the central hole, at this point.
Step 2 –The Post
You will need:
-The post sections (3)
-2x Connecting Screws (B)
The post is made up of two sections (3), each with a half lap joint and two holes.
Place the two sections together, as per the diagram, and fix together using 2x screws
(B)
Tighten the connecting screws together using a cross head type screwdriver. You will
need a second such screwdriver, to hold the bolt in place on the other side.

Step 3 –Joining the Pole to the Feet.
You will need:
-1x 80mm Screw (C)
Turning the foot and the post gently on its side, align the two together. This can be
done more easily over the end of a table or workbench.
Through the central hole in the foot (1 & 2) tighten the two sections together using
screw (C).
Step 4 –Fixing the Stays.
You will need:
-4x Stays (4)
-8x 40mm Screws (D)
Place the stay on the foot and align it with the post.
IMPORTANT: ensure the two ends of the stay are central and flat against the
post and the foot, before tightening.
Tighten the stay on using 2x screws (D), one into the post and one into the
foot.
Repeat this with each stay, replicating the diagram.

Step 5 –The Post Top
You will need:
-The Post Top (5)
-3x 30mm Screws (A)
IMPORTANT: Before fully tightening –ensure the post top (5) is aligned square to the post.
Attach the post top (5) to the top of the post using 3x screws (A).
Fix the central screw first, followed by the outer screws.
You have now completed the post assembly of The Dalby.
Head Assembly
Step 6 –The Pillars
You will need:
-The Table-top Base (6)
-4x Pillars (7)
-4x 30mm Screws (A)
Each pillar has a small rebate which must be placed at the top –
as shown in the diagram.
Firstly, layout the pillars to determine where and how they are
placed, prior to fixing.
IMPORTANT: It is not essential to replicate the diagram, so long as the pillars mirror each other, and the rebate is
facing outwards. You can always use the brush-off point as a guide.
Once you have worked out the placement of the pillars –remove three and hold the fourth in place. Fix the two
sections (6 & 7) together, using screw (A), into the pre-drilled hole underneath the table-top base (6).
Repeat this with all four pillars (7).
Rebate:
Brush-off Point

Step 7 –The Gable Ends
You will need:
-2x Gable Ends (8)
-4x 30mm Screws (A)
Inside each gable end, there is a small rebate on both the left and right-hand sides.
These align with the rebates on the pillars (7) and will easily slide on to match.
Tighten together with 2x screws (A), at either side, using the pre-drilled holes in the gable ends (8), as a guide.
Step 8 –The Roof Ridge
You will need:
-The Roof Ridge (9)
-2x 30mm Screws (A)
Using screw (A), fix each end of the Roof Ridge (9) to the top of the gable ends, using the pre-drilled holes as a
guide.
IMPORTANT: Do not fully tighten the screws until Step 9 is complete.

Step 9 –The Roof: Part 1
You will need:
-2x Upper Roof Panels (10)
-4x 30mm Screws (A)
Taking the upper roof parts (10), slide them underneath the Roof Ridge (9).
At this point you may need to slacken the screws in the roof ridge to achieve this.
Once both parts meet the inside of the roof ridge you can now securely fasten it (9) down.
Using the pre-drilled holes as a guide, fix the upper roof panels on to the gable ends with screw (A), at each side.
Step 10 –The Roof: Part 2
You will need:
-2x Lower Roof Panels (11)
-4x 30mm Screws (A)
Slide the lower roof panels (11) underneath the upper roof
panels (10) to fit. The narrow edge will tuck under the rebate of
the upper roof panel (10).
Using the pre-drilled holes as a guide, fasten the lower roof
panels on to the gable ends with screw (A), at each side.
You have now completed the assembly of the Head. Now to put the sections together.
These panels have a
rebated edge.
These panels have a flat edge.

Step 11 –Attaching the Table to the Base.
You will need:
-2x Bolts (E)
-2x Washers (F)
-2x Wing Nuts (G)
Line up the two larger holes in table-top base (6) to the holes on the post top (5).
Place a bolt (E) through each of the holes and then fasten together, from underneath, with the washer (F) and
wing nut (G).
You have now completed the assembly of the Dalby Bird Table.
