Step 1: Install the Stow Decks

The Stow Decks form the base of the Clubhouse Fort on the GSD Gen 3. They’re required to install the Storm Box.

  • Download the Stow Decks manual

Step 2: Install the Clubhouse (Gen 3 or Gen 4)

The Clubhouse is the base of the Clubhouse Fort. You will need it to install the Storm Box and Storm Shield or Sun/Rain Shield. Either the Flat Bar or the Child Seat Expansion Bar included with the Clubhouse can be used to install the Clubhouse Fort. However, only the Flat Bar allows vertical parking.

  • If you have younger children, you’ll need to add one or two child seats. Check out this article for more information about compatible child seats on the GSD Gen 3.
  • If you have older or bigger kids, we recommend adding the Clubhouse Seat Pad and Clubhouse Backrest.
