You have the option at this step to add the Extend-A-Bay/Swing Station Kit (PS 7664). This Kit allows
you to extend your 8' Swing Station to 18' and add three more swing activities of your choice.
However, it must be installed now! During original construction!
Purchase Kit, lumber and additional swing activities separately. Follow the building instructions
for Left-hand Swing Station
provided with the Extend-A-Bay/Swing Station Kit.
If you are not installing
the Extend-A-Bay option, proceed to
Step 1 of the 8' Swing Station
Assembly below.
Items for STEP 1:
(3) 4" x 4" x 96" boards
(1) Right-hand Sturdy-Frame Bracket
(2) Left-hand Sturdy-Frame Brackets
(6) ³₈" x 4" hex bolts
(12) ³₈" washers
(6) ³₈" lock nuts
(6) #8 x 1¹⁄₄" deck screws
Install one Right-hand (R) and two Left-hand (L) Sturdy-Frame Brackets onto
separate 4" x 4" boards. (Brackets are stamped R and L)
Position bracket flat on a 4" x 4" board as shown. Slide bracket over and down
until it stops against the top and the side of the 4" x 4" board. When correctly
positioned, the edge of the Sturdy-Frame Bracket will be parallel with the edge
of the 4" x 4" board. Attach bracket with #8 x 1¹⁄₄" deck screws.
Using the Sturdy-Frame Bracket as a drill guide, drill two ³₈" holes through the
4" x 4" board. Secure with two ³₈" x 4" hex bolts with washers and lock nuts.
Caution: Make sure bolts are tight and the threads of each bolt
are at least flush to the nut to ensure proper engagement.
Note: If your lumber is oversized, counterboring
may be required.
Repeat for each assembly.
