That saved us a ton of money.
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.
First, make sure that the scratchy ends of the U bolts are on the.
of the baby gate, not the side where the baby will be hanging out.So place your boots on a an old tea towel, then begin wiping them down with a soft cloth soaked in warm soapy water..
This will remove most of the mud and gunk from the surface of your boots.This is also a great time to use a soft brush like an old toothbrush on some of the ridges where mud may collect because it will all be nicely loosened up at this point from the warm water.
The brush step is really only necessary if you’re going for a really perfectly clean look.Since I know that my boots are just going to get dirty again the next day, I don’t worry about it too much most of the time.
