Before you commence the assembly process we recommend that you read these instructions thoroughly beforehand to

familiarise yourself with the assembly process and to also check that you have the correct components. If for any reason you

need assistance, you can find our contact details on the final page of these instructions.

We highly recommend that any assembly is carried out on an open flat, level surface if possible with sufficient space. You will

also require the assistance of at least 2 adults to complete assembly safely.

Step 1

Step 2

Select an area for your decking that is stable, firm and

level. Layout the 2 x Base frame assemblies and 2 x Edge

joists in a rectangle and then place the remaining infill

joists roughly in place as shown here.

Attach the edge joists to the base frame assemblies using

2 x 75mm screws in the pre-drilled holes, making sure that

the ends are flush and everything is square. Repeat for all

4 corners.

Step 3

Step 4

Line up the ends of each infill joist end with the markings

on the edge joists, making sure the top faces are also

flush, before screwing each end into place with 2 x 75mm

green screws. Add the remaining joists to complete the

frame for the decking.

Get an assistant to hold the first post in place, housing it

in the pocket formed where the base frame assembly and

edge pieces meet.

Have an assistant (or even two) help you lift one of the

runner (note the multiple notches) so that the face with

the countersinks is outer most, the top is level with the

posts and the notches align either side of the post...

…before securing each end into place with 2 x 70mm

coachscrews.

Repeat Steps 14-16 and add the remaining braces.

Place one of the Post deck slats so that it runs post to

post, perpendicular to the deck frame joists. Make sure

the edge is flush with the outer edge of the frame before

securing each end in place with 2 x 65mm screws.

Step 19

Step 20

Find the most central joist and, having checked the edge

of the deck slat is flush with the frame edge (push/pull the

slat into place if required) secure in place with 2 x 65mm

screws into the joist. Attach the second Post deck slat to

the opposite side of the base in the same way.

Now arrange the upstand edge decking pieces around the

perimeter of the base (note how the longer pieces run

parallel to the Post deck slats from the previous Step). Fix

the end of each piece into place at each post with 2 x

65mm screws as shown here.

place with 2 x 65mm coachscrews.

Half way between the post and the frame centre add

further intermediate screws to finish securing the upstand

edge slats in place. Attach the remaining upstand edge

slats using the procedures in Steps 20-22 (rotate the deck

piece across the base through 90° as necessary).

Step 23

Step 24

Lay out all of the decking pieces across the infill joists and

adjust until you have them evenly spaced across the base.

Fix both ends of every slat down with 2 x 65mm screws.
