Parts
Step by Step Guide - Picnic Table
Step 1
Take the Wall Plate (131) and slide a 670mm length of galvanised tube into the fitting until it hits the bottom. Using the hex key, tighten the grub screws on the fitting to the tube so it remains attached. Next slide the middle fitting (101) down the tube to the required position (about a third of the way down the tube) and tighten the grub screw. Finally fit the top fitting (131) ensuring all fittings are aligned. You can then tighten the grub screws and your first leg is complete. Repeat this process 3 more times to create all 4 legs.
Step 2
Take a length of galvanised tube 460mm long and slide a Short Tee (101) to the middle of the tube and tighten the grub screw. Place each side of the 460mm length into the Short Tee (101) which is attached to your table legs and tighten the grub screws. This should now create a H shape with the legs. Repeat this action again on the other 2 legs. To join all the legs together, place the 2 lengths of 600m tube into the remaining Short Tee’s on the H shape and join the frame together with the 2 Socket Cross (119) and tighten all the grub screws to ensure the frame is tightly secured. The frame is now ready for the scaffold board table top.
Step 3
Lay the 3 1500mm scaffold boards side by side ensuring they are level. Take the 600mm lengths of scaffold board and place them at each end ensuring they cover the 3 boards. Take 6 screws and secure the 600mm boards to the 1500mm boards (2 screws for each board) This will complete your table top. Place your frame on top of the 600mm boards ensuring the frame is equally spaced at all sides and secure the frame to the boards using the screws provided. Once secured flip the table over and your Picnic Table Kit is complete.

Step 1
Take the Wall Plate (131) and slide a 450mm length of galvanised tube into the fitting until it hits the bottom. Using the hex key, tighten the grub screws on the fitting to the tube so it remains attached. Next slide the middle fitting (101) down the tube to the required position (About halfway down the tube) and tighten the grub screw. Finally fit the top fitting (131) ensuring all fittings are aligned. You can then tighten the grub screws and your first leg is complete. Repeat this process 3 more times to create all 4 legs.
Step 2
Take a length of galvanised tube 100mm long and slide a Short Tee (101) to the middle of the tube and tighten the grub screw. Place each side of the 100mm length into the Short Tee (101) which is attached to your bench legs and tighten the grub screws. This should now create a H shape with the legs. Repeat this action again on the other 2 legs. To join all the legs together, place the 885mm length of tube into the remaining Short Tee’s on the H shape and join the frame together. Tighten all the grub screws to ensure the frame is tightly secured. The frame is now ready for the scaffold board bench top.
Step 3
Lay the 1200mm scaffold board on the floor and place the frame on top of it ensuring the frame is equally spaced at all sides and secure the frame to the board using the screws provided. Once secured flip the bench over and your Picnic Table Bench Kit is complete. Repeat each step again to complete your other bench.
