STEP 7: INSTALLING OUTER FORT SUPPORTS
1: FIND THE TWO 2 X 6 X 79-1/4" OUTER FORT SUPPORTS. THE EASIEST WAY TO DIFFERENTIATE THE OUTER SUPPORTS
FROM THE INNER SUPPORTS IS TO LOOK FOR THE COUNTER-SUNK HOLES AT 12-1/4" FROM EACH END. THE TWO
BOARDS WITH THE HOLES CLOSEST TO THE BOTTOM (LONGER) SIDE ARE THE OUTER FORT SUPPORTS, THE BOARDS
WITH THE HOLES CLOSEST TO THE TOP (SHORTER) SIDE ARE THE INNER FORT SUPPORTS.
2: LAY THE LADDER ASSEMBLY AND ROCK WALL ASSEMBLY FLAT ON THE GROUND, AND LINE UP THE 3/8" HOLE
CLOSEST TO THE TOP WITH THE TOP HOLE OF THE OUTER FORT SUPPORT.
3: ATTACH THE OUTER FORT SUPPORT TO THE LADDER AND ROCK WALL ASSEMBLY WITH 5/16 X 4" HEX BOLTS AND
5/16" WASHERS.
4: REPEAT STEPS 2 AND 3 TO FASTEN THE OUTER FORT SUPPORT TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE FORT.
5: WITH HELP, LIFT UP THE LADDER ASSEMBLY AND ROCK WALL ASSEMBLY SO THAT THE LADDER SIDES AND ROCK
WALL SIDES ARE FLUSH TO THE ANGLED SIDES OF THE OUTER FORT SUPPORT.
