Installation Instructions
Lay out the rug or tarp so you don’t scratch or mar your parts. Then place your parts as shown in the Top View. Make sure that the shoulder bracket is oriented correctly, the leg with the back stop should be facing up.
Using a pencil, mark each piece of wood 6 inches in from the end. Slide each piece of wood into corner brackets where you marked the line as show in the Top View.
Note: You will notice the lumber is not a tight fit, this is intentional due to the fact that wood is not perfect. Wood will expand, contract and may come slightly twisted, the extra space will help in installation and overall life of the wood. Keep wood centered in all brackets while tightening lag bolts.
Using your drill and 1/8 inch bit, pre-drill the holes and then screw in lag
bolts using a 1/2 in socket wrench or socket drill bit.
Suggestion: Please flip all pieces over for next steps.
Slide remaining pieces of wood into the remaining corner bracket and repeat step 1.3 above to secure corner pieces.

Installing on Concrete, Brick or Stone
Installation on a concrete, brick or stone will require additional tools
and hardware. For example, drill bits for drilling into stone and mortar are
different from standard drill bits, and you may need a heavy duty drill:
