STEP 1.
ASSEMBLE
To assemble your A-Frame, take the two legs (1 + 2) and unthread the sex bolts (3 + 4).

Place both of the legs (1 + 2) together with the stepped faces on the inside, and the flat faces on the outside.
Insert the sex bolts (3 + 4) making sure that the bolt with the countersunk end (4) is facing the outside of the frame. Tighten using the allen key (5)
STEP 3.
COMBINE COMPONENTS
Next, thread the main bolt (1) through the legs (2) spacer (3) first plastic bushing (4) strap (5) second plastic bushing (6) and horizontal brace (7).
Do this on both sides, making sure that the bolt (1) is nice and tight.
STEP 4.
APPLY YOUR DECAL

STEP 5.
ATTACH THE DISPLAY BOARD
Attach the display board (4) using the bolt (1) and nut (2) with a washer (3) in between on either side of the strap. Do this on both sides of the display board.
