and the pre-drilled holes.

4. Fix the base plates (G) on the underside of two corners as
required (See Fig 2).

5. Add the lid section and secure to the frame using screws
(H1) and the pre-drilled holes.

6. To assemble the lid support arms:
Insert the bolts (F) from the outside, through the slots
in the support arms and into the pre-drilled holes in the
side panels. Screw in part way to secure. (See Fig 3).
The wing bolt can be tightened when the lid is in the
required position.
