Assembly Instructions
All components needed during the assembly are numbered with reference to the parts list, please
refer back to the parts list to ensure you are assembling the correct components for each step.
Step 1: Monkey Bar A-Frame Assembly
•Lay out the 2 posts on a flat surface
•Attach the 420mm post to the top of the posts as shown, using the 200mm screws. Please
ensure that the 420mm post is flush with the cut on the top of each 10ft post

Step 2:
•Attach the 1755mm 3” x 1.5” timber piece across the middle of the A-frame to hold it in its
place when lifted. To position this, mark 900mm down from the top of each post and line up
the top of the 1755mm timber to each of these lines

Step 3:
•Cut the 3” x 1.5” flush with the 10ft posts

Step 4:
•Repeat steps 1-3 for the other A-frame
•On the other A-frame add a second 1755mm 3” x 1.5” on the other side of the A-frame, this
will be where the platform will be built onto

Step 5: Monkey Bar Module Assembly
•Place the monkey bars on top of one of the A-frames. Make sure to assembly the monkey
bars the correct way around. The monkey bars need to be secured in such a way so as the
32mm pre-drilled holes are on the top face and are closest to the A-frame with 2 x
1755mm x 3” x 1.5” attached
•Ensure that the monkey bar is flush with the A-frame and is overhanging either side the
same distance
•Use the 200mm screws provided to screw the monkey bars to the 10ft posts of the A-frame,
and the 120mm screws to screw down into the 420mm post

Step 6:
•Repeat step 5 to secure the other side of the monkey bars to the other A-frame

Step 7: Securing the middle A-frame
•These remaining two 10ft posts don’t need a 420mm horizontal piece of post to connect them,
so they can be fixed directly to the underside of the Monkey Bar, measuring from 810mm-
900mm from the end of the Monkey Bar
•These are fixed using the 200mm index screws down through the pre-drilled 32mm holes on
top of the Monkey Bar, two into each post

Step 8:
•Add a piece of 1755mm x 3” x 1.5” to the middle A-frame, ensure it is on the correct side
because this is where the platform will be built onto

Step 9:
•When all six A-frame posts are secured, use the 3m x 3” x 1.5” to act as temporary braces
across all the A-frames at each side, using decking screws to tack them on about 800mm from
the ground. It will take two 3m lengths for each side (4 in total). Measure the distances
between all the A-frame posts to ensure both sides are equal and the middle legs are plumb

Step 10:
•Screw in the support braces with decking screws and cut flush to the A-frame posts

Step 11:
•Once you’re happy with the position of the set, you’re ready to dig the holes for the legs and
concrete the legs into the ground
•We recommend a hole approximately 12” in diameter and 12” deep. The depth might vary if
your garden is on a slope, or you may need to cut a bit of the bottom of some of the A-frames
•Don’t concrete your posts into the ground until the very end

Step 12: Platform Assembly
•Your platform should measure 1.5m (5ft) from the ground to the top of the platform. If your
garden is on a slope you may need to adjust this height to suit your slope. If the horizontal
supports of your A-frames aren’t at 1.5m, then they can be lowered or raised as required.
•Attach the final piece of 3” x 1.5” between the interior supports for the interior and exterior
A-frames from which the platform will be built. These 3 pieces of 3” x 1.5” should be level
because this is where the platform boards will be secured to. This piece of timber will have
to be trimmed at an angle to fit flush against the support braces

Step 13: Securing 6” x 1” Boards
•Using the decking screws, secure the 6” x 1” boards into the three 3” x 1.5” supports. You
will have to cut these boards to fit them flush against the inside of the A-frame supports. It
should take 8 boards to cover the platform
