1. Measure from the inside

5. Use 2 decking screws to fasten the inner side of the support as shown (
2B). Check
again to make sure that the support is flush with bottom of cut-outs ( 2B).
6. Move outdoors. Use 2 decking screws to fasten the outer
portion of the support ( 2C).
Note: If placing screws into vinyl siding it may be necessary
to drill a hole through the siding slightly larger than the heads
of the screws. This will allow the screws to tighten flush with
plywood and not buckle the vinyl siding.
7. If needed, repeat the process with a vertical length of
2" x 4" or 2" x 6". This will be the vertical support into
which you’ll fasten the edge of the frame.
