POST ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
The Upright posts on this unit should all be leaning at a 10 ~ angle away from the deck structure. The posts should all be drilled
and of the correct size to achieve this angle. Ensure all bolts and screws are loosely fitted to give enough movement for ropes
and timbers to have the appropriate tensioning.
Sustain the two upright posts labelled 'B' & 'C' into the corresponding foundation hole. Both Posts have pre-drilled holes to
secure the horizontal posts to using the supplied Coach Bolts. Secure post labelled 'H' to the lower hole on post 'B' and fix
using the supplied Coach Bolt. The upper end of post 'H' is fixed to post 'A' on the triangle deck using a Coach Screw to the
dimension shown below. Repeat this same process for post labelled 'C' but with the second hole from ground level on post 'I'.
