WALL
50 cm minimum or
touching wall
Decide where to locate the
small mirror panel(s). Insert a
short panel into the bottom two
connector rings. Capture the
panel by sliding down another two
connector rings into the grooves.
Basic skills
No tools required.
These basic skills are for building
any of the Nursery gym layouts
in this book. After you have read
through the basic skills, choose
the layout you would like to build
and follow the plan provided.
WARNING
Any gym with a tunnel must be 50 cm minimum from the wall.
Ensure a one metre
clearance zone
around the gym.
Check the joints. Every panel
should be locked in place by
four connector rings. Repeat
this step for each panel as you
build your gym.
To add the next panel, lift one of
the connector rings and use it to
capture the new panel. Assemble
the first layer of your gym by
following the pattern you have chosen.
The banister brace is used between 2
short posts under the stairs and ramp.
Go slowly; it is hard to replace a panel
after a layer is placed on top.
To add the stairs or ramp you will
need to unscrew the caps and
slide off three connector rings
from the short posts first. Add
stairs, then replace the connector rings.
The ramp is added in the same way.
The ramp and stairs are exchangeable
in all configurations.
Before the upper panels can be
added you must unscrew the cap
and slide off the top connector
ring.
Use tall panels to create the top
layers, following the pattern you
have chosen. Replace the top
connector rings as you go, so each
panel is captured by four connector rings.
Remember, upper panels are exchangeable
and can face either in or out.
