Assembly Instructions
Assembly typically requires two adults. Follow these steps carefully to ensure correct and safe construction:
- Unpack Components: Lay out all wooden dowels, connectors, and hardware on a clean, flat surface. Verify all parts are present according to the packing list.
- Identify Parts: Distinguish between different lengths of dowels and types of connectors. The dome structure is formed by interconnecting these pieces.
- Initial Structure: Begin by forming the base layer of the dome. Connect dowels to the appropriate connectors, ensuring a secure fit. Refer to any included diagrams for the correct pattern.
- Build Upwards: Continue adding layers of dowels and connectors, gradually building the dome's spherical shape. Ensure each connection is firm before proceeding to the next.
- Secure Connections: Once the structure is complete, use the provided hardware (screws/bolts) to tighten all connections. This step is crucial for the dome's stability and safety. Note: The final connections may require slight manipulation to align perfectly.
- Final Check: After assembly, gently shake the dome to ensure stability. Re-tighten any loose connections and confirm all parts are securely fastened.
