2. Using two of the Beams assembled in the previous step, line up one set of Left
and Right Vertical Rails, followed by the Base and Top Bracket pieces and fasten as
shown.
NOTE: In order to ensure all of the screw holes will line up easily, it is recommended
to hand-tighten the nuts through the entire assembly process, and then fully
tighten once all bolts have been inserted.
3. Using the remaining two Beams assembled in step 1, line up the other set of Left
and Right Vertical Rails and fasten them to the Base and Top Brackets as shown.
