How the Joints Work
Parts Identification
Installation Notes:
Before starting to assemble the Versailles Sunburst Garden, refer to the parts diagram to understand how to screw the brackets onto the timbers. Remove the Stacking joints from the plastic bags and lay out the parts. Each of the joints comprises a stake and two brackets plus screws needed.
Special Installations:
Connect brackets parallel (as shown in Parts Identification)to 14 of the 16 curved timbers leaving 2 curved timbers and 1 stacking joint (2 pack) for last part of installation.
Level one (Diagrams 1 & 2)
Materials: 8 curved timbers, 8 stacking joints
Create a circle by connecting all of the
bracketed timbers with the stakes upside
down (A) so the timbers can be angled
easily (Diagram 1).
Next, push in every other timber to form a four leaf clover shape (Diagram 2).
Note: Do not secure stakes in ground just yet.

Level two (Diagram 3)
Materials: 4 curved timbers, 4 stacking joints
Before flipping the stake around and hammering into the ground to permanently pin the first level, line up the second level to make sure the bottom level is positioned properly. Once the second level is lined up, temporarily remove the second level pieces and hammer stakes through brackets to secure first level.
Once first level is secured, re-install second level, making sure the curve of the timber is facing outward (Diagram 3).

Level three (Diagram 4)
Because of the tight inward bends of the third level, it's important to first place two bracketed timbers (A) across from each other. Then place the brackets (not already installed on timbers) over the stakes (B) on the final two side pieces. Next, slide the final timber (C) into the brackets (it will be a tight fit). Once in place, screw the brackets to timbers to secure.
