5/16" hardware. Ladder standoffs are attached to legs with 5/16" nuts and bolts.
See Figure 9I below and
Figure 9J on Page 54 show typical bracing attachment points to the leg. Do not tighten any hardware until
all bracing is in place. See chart above for dimensions called out as shown in Figure 9I below and Figure
