Bolt the shafting at least 2" (50mm) into the base of each column. (See illustration no. 1).
A "guide" on top of each column is provided where the main beam goes. After putting the main beam, insert the aluminum plate into the grooves provided in the main beam. (See Illustration no. 2.)
The 8 holes of the plate have to be exactly on top of the 8 holes of the "guide". Put the 8 screws with rubber and tighten them up. (See illustration no. 3).
The same procedure will be followed to install the 5 top beams. (See illustration no. 4).
Holes on top of each column are provided. (Optional) Remove the resin cover/protection and insert sand or gravel to add some weight in each column to make it more stable. (This procedure should be done first before installing all the beams. See illustration no. 5).
