thoroughly beforehand to familiarise yourself with the assembly process and to also check that you have

final page of these instructions.

We strongly recommend that any assembly is carried out on an open flat, level surface if possible and

ONE PIECE RUNNER VERSION

Step 1

Step 2

Begin by laying one of the plain posts on a flat, level

surface and then, using the marks on the runner as a

guide, slotting one of the runners on to it as shown.

Make sure the post is correctly aligned and square to the

runner before securing into place with 2 of the 60mm

woodscrews. Repeat this process for the other end of the

runner. Now repeat steps 1 & 2 for the remaining 2 posts

and runner.

Step 3

Step 4

Add the short braces, butting their angled faces against

the post and underside of the runner and aligning it

centrally against the post before fixing into place with a

70mm woodscrew through each end. Attach all 4 short

braces in this way.

Now arrange the 2 “goalpost” structures you have built so

that they are in (or as close to) their final location, with

the bottoms of the posts facing each other and spaced

around the same distance apart as the slots in the rafters

(see image above).

Step 5

Step 6

Get your assistants to carefully raise both of the

“goalposts” into the vertical as shown….

..whilst the 2 outer rafters are slotted over the runner

ends as close the posts as possible.

Step 7

Step 8

Make sure everything looks square and the rafters are

fully slotted in place and butted up against the outer end

face of the posts, before securing each of the four rafter

ends in place with a 120mm coachscrew driven down

through the rafter and into the runner.

Now add the long braces, butting the angled face against

the post and the bottom level with the short brace

already installed. Fix the bottom end in place with a

70mm woodscrew and the top end in place with 2 of the

60mm woodscrews. Add the remaining 3 braces in the

same manner.

and then, using the marks on the runner at the sculpted end

as a guide, slotting one of the runners on to it as shown.

the runner before securing into place with 2 of the

60mm woodscrews.

Step 15

Step 16

Add a short brace, butting its angled faces against the post

and underside of the runner and aligning it centrally against

the post before fixing into place with a 70mm woodscrew

through each end.

Take another post and slide it over the other (square) end of

the runner so that it occupies half the width (around 47mm)

of the slot in the post. Ensure it is square before securing in

place with 2 of the 60mm screws.

Step 18

Repeat Steps 13-15 for the remaining runners, posts and

short braces.

Arrange the 2 complete “goalpost” structures assembled in

steps 13-16 so that they are in (or as close to) their final

location, as a mirror pair with the bottoms of the posts

facing each other and spaced around the same distance

apart as the slots in the rafters (see image above).

Step 19

Step 20

Get your assistants to carefully raise both of the “goalposts”

into the vertical as shown….

Make sure everything looks square and the outer rafter is

face of the posts, before securing each end in place with a

120mm coachscrew driven down through the rafter and

shown...

Step 23

Step 24

...and secure in place with 2 of the 60mm woodscrews.

Add the second assembly in the same way.

Now lower another rafter onto this end of the assembly,

adjusting the post positions if necessary, and once butted up

to the outer face of the posts, secure in place with a 120mm

coachscrew at each end in the same way as you did for Step
