8 Assembly Tips Tip #1: It is imperative to pre-drill holes for all bolts and lags. Holes pre-drilled for 3 and 4 lags should be 5/16 (1/16 smaller than the thickness of the lag). Holes pre-drilled for bolts should be 1/8 larger than the thickness of the bolt. Tip #2: Screws can be attached without pre-drilling holes. Tip #3: Use a square to make sure corners are 90 degrees. Tip #4: Use glue included in package to install end caps throughout assembly. Put coating of glue on PVC cap and hold in place for 10 seconds.
