How do you attach the backboard (Lifetime 73729) to the bracket brace angle pieces on the top of the bracket?

It took 3 of us. 2 on ladders on the outside holding up the backboard and one in the middle on a ladder tightening everything. It was freaking complicated and a while ago, so when I say I couldn't describe it through words in a million years, that's an understatement. I think giving birth to a porcupine might have been easier. If there was a way to show you I would, because that is the only way I could explain it. Sorry, I can't help with your question.

We ended up not needing this bracket and attached the backboard to the old mounting.

We have a wonderful carpenter and he attached the backboard - it is a great job - I would suggest you talk to someone who knows how to do it and get them - my grandson is delighted with the arrangement -

There is another frame or an adapter kit/brackets you can purchase that will allow you to attach a traditional headboard to it.

Hi, I made a phone call to the Westin company. They were very helpful, and do not forget the brackets. You also need the right brackets or nothing will fit. Good Luck

John Clark is correct. Loosen the nuts, and raising or lowering them in the bracket will change the angle. Range is probably from 45 degrees to 85 degrees.

I used this center support for something else. What you do is assemble it with legs adjust short of what your extisting bed. Then set it near the middle and slide and turn until the This item is made for a bed frame with angle iron. The only suggestion I can make is you would have to use bolt to the hook. If this is impossible, I would attach angle braces you can get at the hardware store and screw or bolt them to the wood siding. If you haven't bought this yet, don't. If you haven't used, return. It really wasn't made for the hookin rail setup. Look around and ask some questions. There has to be someone who makes what you are looking for. Good Luck!

I built mine with the hooks in the back, facing into the cage. That left me with the holders/hooks out front as well from the bar catches. You can have a set facing into the cage from the back posts and a set out in front.

I screwed the brackets in first around the ring, except the last one then take the table top set them in the slots and do the last one. U just got to put it together like the picture shows it is. I did it last year, so one step may be off but I think u can figure it out if you use the pic we w guide.

The shims snap onto the wooden board. After you install the brackets on the railing, hold the board against the brackets and see if it's straight. If not, snap one of the shims onto the board and try again. Slide the shim along the board so that it is even with the bracket, and sits between the board and the bracket. When you have it straight, install the board by screwing right through the board, shims and brackets (in that order).

You can get this mount: Spalding 8406SR Universal Mounting Bracket. Which says this in the write-up "Adapts backboards to 3.5-inch round poles, roof or wall; holds backboard at fixed height; 10-inch of offset from pole/wall;" The comments on that item support the claims of wall mounting. Good Luck!

i have only tried it for the foot board. Headboard brackets are usually part of the standard rails and should not need any more brackets or rail extensions.

While I can't find it on their website... here is the contact link: http://www.winsomewood.com/contact/I'm sure they can send you a file or something to do it.... Though if yours is like mine.... two of my boards were reversed... the holes to install the rack part were backwards so I had to make my own I think... or something.. like it had the holes on the totally wrong side... but it still went together and is standing to this day..

No. The outside of the bracket is smooth and the inside has notches that interlock with notches on the bar itself so you can set your angle accordingly. I was hoping the same thing but it still works out good

Hi, there are 2 brackets that you have to attach on the back but very simple to do.

We manufactured a small 3D ultra bracket to hold it. A sheet metal clip with a screw might work also.

The frame does not have brackets with it. There are pre-drilled holes in the frame (perhaps for a bracket kit) that I could use to directly bolt into my headboard. However they will not align every headboard.
