Building Basics
To connect the different parts, line up the holes on the pieces you want to connect. Push a bolt through from one side and thread the nut on from the other. It’s that easy. There’s no real right or wrong way to do this!
Note: You may need to help each other – one person inside a box, and one on the outside – but that’s half the fun!
For complete building instructions, download our Construction Kit Information Brochure. For a brief overview, see the pictures below.
Tall Tunnel Connections (Build a Base)
To connect the first two tunnels, you’ll need two people to hold the boxes up until they’re connected. Lay the tunnels on their sides, line up the holes on the tabs of one box with the holes on another and bolt them together. Then lather, rinse and repeat until you’ve built your base!
End to End Connections
To make longer tunnels, connect boxes end to end. Use panel connectors if needed.
Build the Base
By connecting Tall Tunnels in any way that inspires you, build a base of 3, 4 or more tunnels. Square towers on their side make good tunnels too!
Build a Tower
Take a Triangular Tower strip and bolt the ends together. Then bolt it onto a three tunnel base.
Square Towers bolt on to a four tunnel base!
Doors
Doors can be attached on any opening. It’s best to leave some openings without doors so children can move in and out quickly. Whether there’s a door in place or not, remember to add tunnel end supports before children start playing!
