We ran upstairs and poured each bucket down and then smoothed it out.
The u-bolts are used to push each crib side outward towards each side of the opening.We do this by installing them around 2 spindles, one from each crib side so when tightened, the crib sides slide in opposite directions within the channel we created using the l-brackets.
Make sure you select to spindles that, when pulled together will push the crib sides out rather than in.. As you can see in the picture, our u-bolts are wrapped around 1 spindle from each crib side.When tightened, the tension will draw the 2 spindles together, pushing the sides outwards in the direction of the arrows safely securing the baby gate in place..This is where the trial and error may come into play.
Once you have the gate in the opening and you start to attach the ‘first attempt’ u-bolt, you will quickly see if that particular size will work and if not, what changes are needed for successful installation..If everything works correctly, you’re now able to place the gate in the opening and lock in place by tightening the wing-nuts and later remove the gate by loosing the wing-nuts..
Hopefully you found this easier to understand than it was to explain.. Courtenay here: Thanks, Chris!
I have 2 notes that I want to add.Since we get so much rain, pretty much all year round here in Southwestern Ontario, I thought I’d try out a pair of these boots for myself about 6 months ago.
I thought they’d come in handy for those slushy late-winter days and maybe an April shower or two.As it turns out, I’ve been wearing them for pretty much everything, all the time, always, and they’ve been really great to have for walking the dog through the muddy fields around our house, for.
, for early mornings when the grass is still soaked with dew.Basically so many of the rural lifestyle scenarios that we face out here everyday.
