The directions for this product are more like a little head start than a map to the finish. Unless you have more than one of these and are planning to connect them together, the back page will only serve to confuse. That said, for assembling a single log rack you only need to notice that each piece has a side with a lip and a side without a lip. Join the lip side of one panel to the lipless side of the next panel. Leave the bolts loose enough to adjust the shape of the hexagon as you go. It'll have to be somewhat tight so you can move the entire thing around in order to get to all of the attachment points. It takes a little time and finesse to get everything lined up well. The panels are sturdy and arrived packaged well (surprisingly small) and undamaged. Unpack this outside, put on your least favorite clothes, wear gloves, put a tarp down, the rust dust gets everywhere. Lastly, place it mindfully, the rust will run off in the rain and stain most surfaces.
