Assembling Kids Garden Bench
Insert t-nut into in each leg on the bench. Extend both sets of legs along with t-shape support for each side. Flip the bench over and adjust until level. Secure each leg with a hex bolt and hardware listed in your manual. Tighten the screw under each leg and your bench assembly is finished.
Installing Ground Anchors
Refer to your fort guide for the specific location of ground stakes for each product. Drive each stake 33cm (13 inches) into ground. Avoid striking the washer as it could cause it to break off. Attach each stake to the frame with one pan screw. Check for and smooth down any sharp edges.
