STEP 1. Build Side Walls
•
Lay out side boards (A-F) good face down and make angled tops uniform as shown in
diagram.
•
Place a side cleat (O) across top of boards and make cleat flush or even with angled
tops. Attach cleat using 1 ¼ inch screws. (Note – when cleats are properly centered
across boards the cleat should be about 1 inch short on both ends.)
•
Measure 3 inches up from bottom of longest side boards (A & F). Set side cleat (O) at
3 inch mark and make flush with bottom of shorter wall boards. Attach using 1 ¼”
screws.
•
Now measure 40 inches up on longest side boards (A & F). and attach another side
cleat (O) across wall boards using 1 ¼ inch screws. ( repeat for opposite wall)
STEP 2. Build Back Wall
•
Lay out back boards (G,H) good face down and make tops of boards even
and edges square as shown in diagram.
•
Set the “beveled” back cleat (R) across top of boards.
•
Position cleat with the bevel face up and have sharp edge of bevel flush with
top of boards. Attach cleat using 1 ¼ inch inch screws.
•
Measure 3 inches up from the 2 longest outside boards.
•
Set back straight cleat (S) at 3 inch mark and make flush with bottom of
shorter wall boards. Attach using 1 ¼ inch inch screws.
•
Now measure 40 inches up from bottom of the 2 longest outside boards and
attach another straight cleat (S) across wall boards using 1 ¼ inch screws.
•
Attach foot to bottom of cleat using 1 ¾ inch screws.
STEP 3. Build Doors (2)
•
Lay out door boards (J) and (J1) good face down and make tops of board’s even and edges square.
•
Set a door cleat (P) across ends and place cross cleat (V) diagonally between them.
•
Measure 4 inches from top of boards and attach door cleat (P) with 1 ¼ inch screws.
•
Line up cross cleat (V) with end of door cleat and attach using 1 ¼ inch screws.
•
Set another door cleat (P) across the bottom and attach with 1 ¼ inch screws.
•
On outside face of door attach door hinges to line up with end of cleat as shown.
•
Note: hinges must be placed as per diagram to avoid door sag.
