STEP 8: LEVELING THE PLAY SET AND LAGS
1: INSTALL LAG SCREWS ONLY IN THE FOUR 2 X 6 BOARDS AT DECK HEIGHT AT THIS TIME.
SQUARE EACH OF THESE FOUR BOARDS TO THE CORNER POSTS AND THEN INSTALL THE LAG
SCREWS. THIS IS TO MAKE THE STRUCTURE RIDGID FOR THE LEVELING AND SQUARING
PROCESS.
2: PLACE THE FRAME IN ITS FINAL POSITION AND FOLLOW THE PROCEDURES AT THE FRONT
OF THE MANUAL TO LEVEL AND SQUARE THE STRUCTURE. HAVE AN ASSISTANT HELP YOU
LIFT THE FRAME AS REQUIRED. DO NOT INSTALL REMAINING LAG SCREWS UNTIL AFTER THE
FRAME HAS BEEN LEVELED AND SQUARED.
3: ONCE THE FRAME IS LEVEL, SQUARE AND SET INTO POSITION; GO BACK AND INSERT
THE 5/16" X 3-1/2" LAG SCREWS AND 5/16" WASHERS IN ALL OF THE REMAINING HOLES OF
THE 2 X 6 PARTS ON THE FRONT, SIDES AND REAR OF THE PLAY SET. NOTE: THERE WILL NOT
BE ANY PREDRILLED HOLES IN THE CORNER POSTS FOR THE LAG SCREWS.
