We're the bolts supposed to come already fastened to the handrail support? I can't fastene securely the legs to them.

I don't believe mine were but I didn't have any problem securing the hand rail.

Did you get any answers? I can't figure out how to put the wheels on securely.

No, but I had to loosen all of the bolts, then even it out and tighten it back up. The platforms were uneven. I had to hold them in place while tightening.

Strongly suggest you did what we did...get some short rebar rods and pound them in along-side the legs. Then tether them to the legs with cable ties. No chance of winds blowing it over now.

I have exactly same issue. I contacted Lifetime and they don't have any anchors as this is supposed to be free standing. They mentioned that some movement is normal.

I recommend attaching it as standing on it with one foot and scraping the other does not work well. The legs/base has pre-drilled holes (covered by rubber in picture). I drilled anchors into concrete to hold it from moving. I believe I used 3/8" bolts but instructions will say for sure.

Some of the frustration in assembling probably comes form that some steps you need 4 hands (a helper) to do it. If you don't have that, put some masking tape on the bolt heads. That will hold them in place while you get the nuts on the other end. And all the parts came in a blister pack, carefully counted. You just need a couple of wrenches 1/2", 9/16" I think.

flip it over, look for a flat wood center platform with a center hole and four unused holes surrounding it. Even if it is the wrong bolt pattern (mine was) just center it and drill four new holes. Obviously you have to remove the existing legs or supports.

The top section of legs did not land quite right without the shelf in place to spread them out. Mine would have been WAY to wobbly if I left off the bottom pieces. You could always go to a hardware store and buy shorter legs for the bottom section. They usually carry legs that have the same bolt at the store and if you painted them white you would never notice the difference but it is only going to knock off a few inches if you do it that way.

I put it together myself while my kiddos napped. I had one bolt up on the handrail that would screw it, but I was afraid I would strip it if I pushed more, so I asked hubby to tighten the one nail when he got back. Otherwise, easy breezy!

you would have to fashion some kind of a bracket for it. The only apparent way for this to be fastened is the foot mount.

Hi: I'm not a contractor. However, it would appear to me that if there was a way to separate the round platform from the rotating rectangular surface, then maybe. Otherwise, I don't see any way to bolt it down without interfering with its' rotation.

Suggest you don't install them; return them because once installed you will be stuck with them. They are very wobbly and unstable. My dad couldn't use them safely. We did much better with a raised toilet seat that had hand rails as part of the raised seat.

Great product. looks like you got your answer already. Frequently tighten all bolts. I lost one of the arms because bolts rattled out.

The "legs" are positioned on the outside of the bottom piece within the groove located there. Once the top is in position, they will be secure. Be Patient!

I screwed the crossbeams to the supports from the top. Two on each side. I used extra screws - I felt one was not enough.

Not without some retrofitting you would need to build up the deck where you need to attach the handrail anchors.
