Sidney’s  Portable  Bailey  Chair  Instructions    

  SUPPLIES:   QTY  1  –  1/2”  Sheet  of  4’  x  8’  Hardwood   QTY  1  –  1  ½”  PVC  Pipe   QTY  2  –  1  ½”  PVC  Pipe  End  Caps   QTY  2  –  Small  Dowel  Rods   QTY  1  –  Small  Box  of  1  ½”  Coarse  Drywall  Screws   QTY  1  –  Small  Box  of  1”  Coarse  Drywall  Screws     TOOLS:   Electric  or  Cordless  Drill  w/  Phillips  Screw  Head  Bit   Drill  Bits  –  1/16”  and  3/8”   Hole  Saw  (See  Below)  2”  

  Circular  Saw   Tape  Measure  and  Wood  Glue    

 

STEP  1  -­‐  Bottom  Base  with  Spacer  Block    

                            NOTE:  These  sizes  are  based  on  my  55-­‐pound  Chocolate  Lab  –  you  can  easily  adjust   these  sizes  to  match  your  dog’s  size.     Bottom  Base  Size  –  14.5”  wide  x  22”  long   Lower  Base  Spacer  –  4”  wide  x  10”  long   Upper  Base  Spacer  –  5”  wide  x  10”  long   Spacer  Block  –  4.25”  wide  x  11”  long  (Just  cut  and  leave  aside  for  now)     Start  by  cutting  the  Bottom  Base  panel  to  size.    Then,  cut  the  Lower  Base  Spacer  and   Upper  Base  Spacer  to  size.    You  will  see  in  later  steps  that  the  Upper  and  Lower  Base   Spacers  will  end  up  creating  a  slot  for  securing  the  Right  and  Left  Side  Panels  securely  to   the  Base  Panel.     Install  the  Lower  Base  Spacer  flush  with  each  side  of  the  Bottom  Base  and  flush  to  the   back.    Just  screw  it  down  right  now  using  1”  screws  –  once  the  chair  is  complete  and  fits   properly,  you  can  go  back  and  glue  the  piece  down  and  re-­‐screw  it  for  extra  support.     Install  the  Upper  Base  Spacer  on  top  of  the  Lower  Base  Spacer  by  using  1  ½”  screws.     Flush  with  the  sides  and  the  front  edge.    This  will  leave  the  Upper  Base  Spacer  one  inch   shorter  than  the  Lower  Base  Spacer  in  the  back.      

STEP  2  -­‐  Base  with  Grooves  For  Side  Panels    

      Here  you  can  see  a  different  angle  of  the  Bottom  Base  Panel  with  the  Lower  and  Upper   Base  Spacers  installed.    This  is  a  view  from  the  front.    Notice  the  grooves  it  has  created.     This  will  be  where  the  side  panels  will  lock  into  place.     Take  a  peek  at  STEP  5  and  STEP  6  –  get  the  idea?     Sidney  has  inspected  it  and  he  approves.     The  idea  behind  this  Portable  Bailey  Chair  is  that  it  goes  together  by  sliding  parts  into   place  and  can  be  held  together  on  its  own  without  needing  any  screws,  latches  or  tools.     It  is  easily  put  together  and  taken  apart  in  about  20  seconds  and  easily  stored  and   weighs  only  about  15  pounds.                

STEP  3  -­‐  Side  Panel  Front  View  with  Base  Groove    

    Side  Panel  –  12”  wide  x  26”  high   Lower  Side  Slot  –  1  ½”  wide  x  10  ½”  long     Cut  the  Side  Panel  and  the  Lower  Slide  Slot.         NOTE  –  There  are  two  sides  and  you  will  need  to  do  this  step  twice  (once  for  each  side)     You  will  now  install  the  Lower  Slide  Slot  to  the  Side  Panel  using  1  ½”  screws.    It  will  be   installed  flush  with  the  front  of  the  Side  Panel  and  will  not  go  all  the  way  to  the  back.     You  will  need  the  open  area  at  the  back  later.    So  don’t  be  concerned  that  the  Lower   Slide  Slot  is  1  ½”  shorter  than  the  Side  Panel.    Make  sure  it  is  installed  on  the  side  of  the   Side  Panel  and  not  to  the  bottom  of  the  Side  Panel.         NOTE:  When  installing  this,  I  pre-­‐drill  small  holes  using  the  1/16”  drill  bit  before   screwing  it  together  to  avoid  cracking  the  wood.    I  also  use  wood  glue  for  extra  support.          

STEP  4  –  Adjustable  Paw  Bar  Option  (IF  NECESSARY)    

    In  this  photo  you  will  see  an  extra  piece  of  wood  near  the  top  –  When  Sidney  was  still   growing,  I  used  this  for  the  Paw  Bar  Holder  so  I  could  raise  it  as  he  grew.    I  will  show  the   way  I  installed  the  Permanent  Paw  Bar  Holder  later  on.     If  you  have  a  puppy  that  is  still  growing,  this  option  worked  for  me.     I  just  cut  a  block  of  wood  (2  actually,  1  for  each  side)  and  used  the  HOLE  BORE   attachment  for  the  Electric/Cordless  Drill  and  cut  the  circular  hole  out  near  the  middle   of  the  wood  piece.    Then  used  the  Circular  Saw  or  Table  Saw  to  extend  the  hole  to  the   top  of  the  wood  piece  to  allow  the  PVC  Paw  Bar  slide  in  and  out  easily.     Then  I  screwed  them  to  the  Inside  of  the  Side  Panels  at  the  appropriate  height  to  hold   the  Paw  Bar  in  place.    Take  a  peek  at  STEP  17  for  a  finished  example.            

 

 

STEP  5  -­‐  Side  Panels  Slide  Into  Base  Grooves  

    This  step  is  an  example  of  how  the  Side  Panels  will  slide  into  the  Bottom  Base  Panel   using  the  Bottom  Base  Spacers  we  installed  that  created  the  grooves.     You  do  not  need  to  do  anything  in  this  step.  It  is  an  example  of  how  the  finished  product   starts  to  get  assembled.    In  fact  –  many  of  these  steps  are  just  that,  visual  examples  of   how  to  assemble  the  finished  chair.     NOTE:  See  the  back  of  the  Bottom  Base.    The  Bottom  Base  Spacer  is  Longer  than  the   Upper  Base  Spacer  that  is  on  top  of  it.    This  is  to  leave  space  for  the  back  Panel  to  be   installed  and  slide  into  place  properly.  We  will  build  that  piece  in  later  steps.                  

STEP  6  -­‐  Side  Panels  Installed  in  Base    

  Here  you  can  see  a  front  view  of  both  Side  Panels  slid  into  the  grooves  and  secured  to   the  Bottom  Base  Panel.     Remember  the  Spacer  Block  we  made  in  the  beginning  and  set  aside?    The  next  step   shows  the  purpose  of  that  piece.                            

 

STEP  7  -­‐  Spacer  Block  on  Bottom  Secures  Sides    

  Here  you  see  what  the  Spacer  Block  does.    It  essentially  secures  the  two  Side  Panels  to   the  Bottom  Base  Panel  by  “smashing”  the  Side  Panels  in  place  so  that  they  cannot  slide   out  of  the  grooves.     When  putting  the  chair  together  for  use  –  this  is  the  LAST  step  of  the  installation   process.                          

 

 

STEP  8  -­‐  Back  Panel  Top  View  with  Grooves    

  Back  Panel  –  13”  wide  x  26”  high   Back  Outside  Spacers  –  2”  wide  x  26”  high    (QTY  2)   Back  Inside  Spacers  -­‐  1”  wide  x  26”  high  (QTY  2)     In  this  step  you  will  cut  the  pieces  necessary  to  create  the  Back  Panel.    The  Inside  and   Outside  Spacers  are  what  will  hold  the  2  Side  Panels  to  the  Back  Panel.    The  Side  Panels   will  slide  into  the  space  between  the  Inside  and  Outside  Spacers.         You  can  see  from  this  photo  (a  top  view  of  the  completed  back  panel)  that  there  are   grooves  on  each  side  where  the  Side  Panels  will  slide  into.     If  you  remember  in  STEP  1  and  STEP  5  how  I  mentioned  that  the  Upper  and  Lower   Bottom  Base  Spacers  were  different  sizes?    That  was  to  allow  space  for  this  Back  Panel   as  you  can  now  see.     NOTE:  Refer  back  to  this  photo  when  doing  the  next  step  to  ensure  you  are  installing   the  Outside  and  Inside  Back  Spacers  correctly.  

 

STEP  9  –  Back  Panel  –  Front  View    

    Here  the  first  step  is  to  install  the  Back  Outside  Spacers  (these  are  the  larger  2”   ones)  to  the  outside  ends  of  the  Back  Panel.    I  use  the  1  ½”  screws.    I  make  sure  to   pre-­‐drill  the  holes  using  the  1/16”  drill  bit  before  I  screw  them  together  to  avoid   wood  splitting.    I  also  use  wood  glue  to  secure  them.     As  you  can  see  from  the  photo,  you  want  them  installed  flush  with  the  top  and   bottom  of  the  Back  Panel.     The  Inside  Back  Spacer  installation  is  to  accommodate  the  ½”  groove  space.      To   make  sure  the  groove  is  the  right  size.    What  I  did  was  (once  the  Outside  Back   Spacers  are  installed)  is  use  the  side  panel  as  a  spacer.    What  I  mean  is  I  put  the  side   panel  flush  against  the  Back  Panel  and  Outside  Back  Spacer  and  drew  a  line  so  I   knew  how  big  the  groove  needed  to  be  (since  the  groove  is  for  the  Side  Panel  to  slide   in  to).         But  if  you  go  on  pure  measurements,  the  groove  should  be  the  same  width  as  the   wood  you  are  using.    In  this  case  it  should  be  ½”.          

STEP  10  –  Back  Panel  Installation  –  Sliding  into  Side  Panels    

  Here  you  can  see  how  the  Back  Panel  is  secured  to  the  2  Side  Panels.    The  Side  Panels   slide  into  the  groves  we  just  created  on  the  Back  Panel  in  the  previous  step.     These  will  eventually  be  all  held  together  with  2  Dowel  Rods  to  complete  the  process  of   making  sure  the  Side  Panels  and  Back  Panel  are  secured  together.    Again,  this  is  so  that   no  screwing,  nailing,  latching  or  any  tools  are  needed  to  assemble  or  disassemble  the   chair  for  ease  of  use.                        

 

STEP  11  –  Side  Panels  and  Back  Panel  Installed  –  TOP  VIEW    

    Her  you  see  the  TOP  VIEW  of  the  Side  Panels  and  back  Panel  installed  together.    It   should  be  clear  now  that  the  Side  Panels  slide  into  the  Back  Panel  using  the  grooves   we  created.         Generally,  when  I  am  installing  the  chair  for  Sidney  to  use,  I  start  by  installing  the   Side  panels  into  the  Bottom  Base.    Then  I  slide  the  Back  Panel  grooves  and  slide  the   Dowel  Rods  through  (next  step)  and  finally  install  the  Spacer  Bock  at  the  bottom   that  secures  the  Side  Panels  to  the  Bottom  Base.    Of  course  you  need  to  install  the   paw  bar  after  that.                    

 

 

 

STEP  12  –  Side  Panels  and  Back  Panel  Installed  in  Bottom  Base  Panel  –   SIDE  VIEW  

    Here  is  another  view  of  Sidney’s  Portable  Bailey  Chair  with  all  pieces  slid  into  place.    You   will  note  the  Adjustable  Paw  Bar  Holder  that  I  referred  to  in  STEP  4.    If  your  dog  does  not   need  an  adjustable  one  –  I  will  show  how  I  made  the  Permanent  Paw  Bar  Holder  later.                            

STEP  13  –  Top  Dowel  Rod  Support  Installation    

      QTY  1  –  Dowel  Rod     This  is  the  step  where  we  secure  the  Side  Panels  to  the  Back  Panel  so  that  the  chair  stays   together.     With  the  chair  slid  together  snug,  you  will  now  drill  holes  in  the  side  of  the  Back  Panel,   which  goes  through  the  Side  Panels  and  then  through  the  Inside  Back  Panel  Spacer.             NOTE:  The  next  step  has  an  overhead  view  of  the  completed  process  –  it  should  make   sense  after  viewing  –  look  at  that  before  you  drill.     Drill  the  first  hole  using  the  3/8”  drill  bit  through  all  pieces  and  slide  the  Dowel  Rod   through  all  of  the  pieces  (Back  Panel  Outside/Inside  Spacers  and  the  Side  Panel).    Slide  it   all  the  way  until  it  touches  the  other  side.    This  should  give  you  the  place  to  drill  the  final   hole.         Once  both  holes  are  drilled,  you  will  slide  the  Dowel  Rod  all  the  way  through  so  that  it   holds  the  Back  Panel  and  the  Side  Panels  together.  

 

STEP  14  –  Top  Dowel  Rod  Support  Slid  Through  All  Panels  –  TOP  VIEW  

    Here  is  the  TOP  VIEW  of  the  Dowel  Rod  Support  slid  through  the  two  holes  you  drilled.     See  how  it  now  holds  the  Back  Panel  and  the  Side  panels  together?     You  can  now  see  that  with  the  grooves  we  made  for  the  Bottom  Base  and  the  Back   panel  that  the  Side  Panels  just  slide  into  place  and  are  secured  easily  to  both  the  Bottom   Base  and  the  Back  Panel.                            

STEP  15  –  Bottom  Dowel  Rod  Support  Installation    

    QTY  1  –  Dowel  Rod     NOTE  –  SAME  INSTRUCTIONS  AS  TOP  DOWEL  ROD  INSTALLATION     With  the  chair  slid  together  snug  (and  the  Top  Dowel  Rod  in  place),  you  will  now  drill   holes  in  the  side  of  the  Back  Panel,  which  goes  through  the  Side  Panels  and  then   through  the  Inside  Back  Panel  Spacer.             NOTE:  The  next  step  has  a  front  view  of  the  completed  process  –  it  should  make  sense   after  viewing  –  look  at  that  before  you  drill.     Drill  the  first  hole  using  the  3/8”  drill  bit  through  all  pieces  and  slide  the  Dowel  Rod   through  all  of  the  pieces  (Back  Panel  Outside/Inside  Spacers  and  the  Side  Panel).    Slide  it   all  the  way  until  it  touches  the  other  side.    This  should  give  you  the  place  to  drill  the  final   hole.         Once  both  holes  are  drilled,  you  will  slide  the  Dowel  Rod  all  the  way  through  so  that  it   holds  the  Back  Panel  and  the  Side  Panels  together.    

 

 

STEP  16–  Bottom  Dowel  Rod  Support  Slid  Through  All  Panels  –  FRONT   VIEW  

  Here  you  can  see  how  the  Bottom  Dowel  Rod  Support  secures  the  bottom  of  the  Side   Panels  to  the  Bottom  of  the  Back  Panel.                              

 

 

STEP  17  –  Installation  of  the  Bottom  Spacer  Block    

    This  is  the  final  step  I  have  referred  to  a  few  times  throughout  these  instructions.    This  is   when  the  Side  Panels  are  slid  into  the  Bottom  Base  Grooves  and  the  Back  Panel  is  also   installed  to  the  Side  Panels  and  secured  by  the  Dowel  Rod  Supports.     Take  the  Spacer  Block  and  put  it  face  down  on  the  Bottom  Base  Panel  between  the  2   Side  panels.    It  should  be  snug.  This  will  force  the  Side  Panels  to  stay  secured  in  the   Bottom  Base  Grooves.         NOTE:  I  put  a  folded  towel  down  on  the  Bottom  base  to  cover  the  Spacer  Block  so   Sidney  is  more  comfortable  sitting  in  the  chair.     Also  –  this  has  a  good  view  of  the  Adjustable  Paw  Bar  Holder.    As  you  can  see  –  there  are   2  screws  holding  it  in  place  –  to  adjust  just  unscrew  and  re-­‐screw  it  at  the  height   needed.        

 

STEP  18  –  Side  View  of  Completed  Chair  

 

  Here  is  a  view  of  Sidney’s  Portable  Bailey  Chair  completed.    As  I  mentioned  –  it  only   takes  me  about  20  seconds  to  put  together.    Even  less  time  to  disassemble  it.     It  holds  up  well.    We  have  used  it  hundreds  of  times  over  the  past  year  and  have  had   no  problems  with  it.     The  next  step  will  show  how  I  installed  the  Permanent  Paw  Bar  Holder.                        

 

STEP  19  –  Installing  Permanent  Paw  Bar  Holder  

                                                                              PVC  Pipe  –  1.5”  thick  x  13”  long   PVC  End  Caps  –  1.5”  End  Caps  (QTY  2)     Measure  the  height  that  you  wish  to  have  the  Paw  Bar  set  at  equally  on  both  sides.    Best   to  do  when  chair  is  assembled.    Make  a  mark  where  the  center  of  each  hole  will  be  on   the  Side  Panels.    Using  the  2”  Hole  Saw  attachment  for  the  Electric/Cordless  Drill,  drill   the  hole  on  each  side  where  marked.    Be  sure  that  you  are  drilling  the  holes  while  the   chair  is  DISASSEMBLED.    This  will  ensure  you  do  not  damage  any  of  the  grove  joints  in   the  drilling  process.     Once  the  chair  is  assembled,  slide  the  PVC  Pipe  through  the  holes  and  apply  the  End   Caps  to  lock  it  into  place.  

STEP  20  –  Assembled  Chair  with  Permanent  Paw  Bar  –  FRONT  VIEW  

                                                                                  Here  you  can  see  the  completed  chair.    Notice  how  the  End  caps  also  act  as  a  lock  to   hold  the  bar  in  place  and  the  Side  Panels  secure.     In  this  photo,  you  will  see  a  gray  backing  on  the  chair.    I  added  this  so  that  Sidney  did   not  sit  on  the  bottom  Dowel  Rod.      The  next  step  shows  how  I  installed  this.                

 

STEP  21  –  Installing  Foam  Backing  –  (IF  NECESSARY)  

                                                                                    For  Sidney’s  comfort,  I  installed  a  Foam  backing  that  could  easily  slide  into  the   completed  chair.     It  is  ¾”  Foam  Gym  Flooring.    I’m  sure  you  could  use  a  variety  of  things.    To  install  it  I   measured  out  the  inside  area  on  the  back  of  the  chair  and  using  a  Utility  Knife,  I  cut  it  to   size  and  it  fits  snuggly  in  the  back.     See  photo  above.    Should  be  pretty  easy  to  figure  out.    However  if  you  use  this,  keep  in   mind  during  your  chair  measurements  that  you  will  need  to  account  for  the  lost  space  in   the  back  that  it  covers  up.      

 

TRANSPORTATION  IDEA  

  We  purchased  an  Eddie  Bauer  brand  Rolling  Duffel  bag  from  Target.       In  this  case,  the  Portable  Bailey  Chair  fits  in  the  bottom  of  this  bag  (disassembled).    It  is   actually  in  there  right  now.    Then  we  keep  all  of  the  other  items  we  need  for  feeding  in   the  top  portion  of  the  bag  including  a  Magic  Bullet,  Measuring  Cups,  Food,  etc.     This  is  REALLY  handy.    We  basically  have  a  pre-­‐packed  travel  bag  for  Sidney.    Yes,  the   entire  Portable  Bailey  Chair  is  in  this  bag.
