First cut boards (A) and (B) using a mitersaw To make a part with two clean facescut 1 off one end then measure andcut to 102 at the other end Lay out twoparallel parts (A) on the ground about102 apart
Next add another part (A) next to the onealready on the ground Use a scrap pieceof 4x4 as a spacer Pre-drill and attach allthe parts with screws Then repeat on theother side
Add four more parts (A) on top ofthe assembly These four parts arepositioned directly over the four parts (A)on the ground Pre-drill and attach allthe parts with screws
TIP
Alternating screw patterns isrecommended to avoid theintersection of existing screws
Yoursquoll now attach vertical cross-membersFirst take two parts (A) and attach themas shown Pre-drill and use screws toattach them
At one end of the parallel boards placepart (A) on top of them keeping the edgesflush This will act as a cross-memberPre-drill first then screw into the other (A)boards using 6 screws
Use a miter square to ensure anglesare at 90deg Repeat Step 1 Part 2 at theother end The four pieces should form asquare

Now attach two parts (B) at the oppositeend These rest on the cross-membersfrom Step 1 Part 2 You will now have theright wall assembled
To create the left wall repeat Step 1 Parts1-5 (see pg 9) It will be identical to theright wall except with no vertical beams
Now tip the right wall assembly 90degtoward the left wall assembly Part (B)should be on the ground now
Tip the left wall assembly 90deg towardthe right wall assembly This left wallassembly should line up with the cross-members Pre-drill and use 6 screws toattach the left wall assembly to the rightwall assembly
Cross-cut boards (D) (E) to the properdimensions noting their 45ordm angle oneach end They require a recessed lipalong their lengths Using a table sawcut a x notch into the inside edgealong the top
To complete the frame for the platformevenly space the two parts (F) to the twoparts (E) and attach ensuring the tops of(F) are flush with the bottom of the notchPre-drill and use 2 screws to hold themtogether
Next attach the eleven boards (H)They rest in the shelf you made in parts(D) and (E) At both ends of the boardscrew into parts (D) Also screw intosupports (F)
Use a nail gun and tack parts (D) and (E)together and then attach with 2 screws
Then cut parts (G) and drill a 1 hole ineach part Attach to the bottom of theplatform using 2 screws
At each corner of the platform mark thecenter of a circle at 2 x 2 from thecorner and drill holes using a 1 Forstnerbit These holes will align with the holesyou drilled in parts (G) to accommodatethe rope
(Close-up of how to tie a stopper knot) Take the other end of the rope and wrapit around the horizontal supports (A) threetimes
Using your conduit hanger secure theend of the rope to the horizontal support(A) Attach hanger first with a screw andthen pull rope through Repeat this stepfor the other corners
Take a scrap piece of sandpaper andsmooth the edges of all holes to preventthe rope from fraying
To suspend the platform from thestructure yoursquoll need a 10 section of ropeat each corner Tie a stopper knot in oneend (see diagram) then thread it throughthe holes in the platform from the bottomDo this for all corners
