STEP 6:ATTACH 2x4’S AND MALIBU BOARD TO THE BENCH BACK BEGINNING WITH THE 2x4 CLOSEST TO THE SEAT (BUTTED UP TO THE
“STUB”), THEN THE MALIBU BOARD, AND REMAINING 2x4’S – ADJUSTING THE SPACE BETWEEN BOARDS SO THAT THE SPACING IS EQUAL.
*HOLD OR CLAMP THE PROFILES SECURELY WHILE TIGHTENING SCREWS. USE OF A POWER DRIVER WITH A PHILLIPS #3 BIT (INCLUDED WITH EXTRA
HARDWARE). ONCE THE BENCH IS FULLY ASSEMBLED TIGHTEN ALL SCREWS, SHIFTING BENCH AS NECESSARY TO INSURE A NEAT SQUARE
APPEARANCE. –DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.
INGROUND INSTALLATION: PLACE THE BENCH EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT TO INSTALL IT (STILL ON ITS BACK). MARK THE GROUND WHERE THE “SPIKED”
ENDS ARE. DIG POST HOLES APPROXIMATELY 20” DEEP WHERE YOU MADE YOUR MARKS. PUT THE “SPIKED” ENDS INTO THE HOLES AND MEASURE THE
HEIGHT FROM THE FRONT OF THE SEAT TO THE GROUND. ADD OR REMOVE MATERIAL FROM THE HOLES UNTIL THE BENCH (TOP OF FRONT SEAT BOARD) IS
APPROXIMATELY 17” TO 17-1/2” ABOVE THE GROUND. USE A SMALL 6” TORPEDO LEVEL TO CHECK FINAL VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT OF THE
BENCH LEGS AND ADJUST AS NECESSARY. FILL THE HOLES 2/3 FULL OF “DRY” CONCRETE MIX. (MAKE SURE TO WIPE ANY DUST OFF OF BENCH BEFORE ADDING
WATER) ADD WATER ACCORDING TO DRY MIX INSTRUCTIONS. FILL HOLES THE REST OF THE WAY WITH DIRT. KEEP OFF OF BENCH FOR AT LEAST A DAY. WE
RECOMMEND SCREWING WOOD STAKES TO BENCH LEGS TO BRACE THEM FROM MOVING AND LEAVE ATTACHED TO BENCH FOR 24 HOURS OR UNTIL
CONCRETE IS SET ENOUGH TO HOLD BENCH IN PLACE. REMOVE WOOD STAKES.
Your 100% recycled plastic park bench will give you many years of pleasure and pride,
knowing that you did your part in keeping plastic waste out of landfills and protecting our environment.
STEP 1: PLACE BENCH LEGS UPRIGHT ON A LEVEL SURFACE.
FOR INGROUND INSTALLATION: PLACE LEGS FLAT ON THEIR BACKS WITH
THE FRONT EDGE OF THE SEAT POINTING UP.
STEP 2: PLACE THE FIRST 2x4 ONTO THE SEAT OF THE BENCH -
BUTTED UP TO THE “STUB” AT THE BACK THAT DIVIDES THE SEAT
AND BACK. MOVE THE LEFT AND RIGHT LEGS IN OR OUT UNTIL
THE BOARD SITS FLUSH. INSERT SCREWS INTO PREDRILLED
HOLES IN THE LEFT AND RIGHT LEGS ONLY AND ATTACH THE 2x4.
STEP 3: PLACE A MALIBU BOARD ONTO THE FRONT OF THE
BENCH SEAT. INSERT SCREWS INTO PREDRILLED HOLES IN THE
LEFT AND RIGHT LEGS ONLY AND ATTACH THE MALIBU BOARD.
STEP 4: MEASURE AND MARK THE CENTER OF THE BENCH AND
ATTACH CENTER LEG TO THE 2x4 AND THE MALIBU BOARD ON THE
SEAT OF THE BENCH.
STEP 5:ATTACH TWO MORE 2x4’S TO ALL THREE LEGS ON THE
SEAT OF THE BENCH. ADJUST THE HORIZONTAL SPACE BETWEEN
ALL THE BOARDS SO THAT THE SPACING IS EQUAL.
FOR INGROUND: STAND BENCH UPRIGHT. YOU’LL NEED ANOTHER PERSON TO
HOLD THE BENCH OR LEAN IT AGAINST A TABLE BEFORE PROCEEDING TO STEP 6.
