STEPS 3 & 4
STEP 1 Select two 28" x 2" x 4" cleats. Using an angle bracket as a
template, mark and drill four 1/4" diameter holes in each cleat,
centering the angle bracket on the cleat, as shown below.
2" x 4" x 28"
Remove angle bracket
and counterbore each
of the holes with a
5/8" bit to a depth of
1/8". This will allow
clearance for the
carriage bolt heads
in STEP 4.
STEP 2 Layout eight top boards when using 2" x 4"'s (or five
boards when using 2" x 6"'s), best side down on a flat surface,
maintaining a 1/4" spacing between boards. Carriage bolts can
be placed between boards to maintain space. Measure and mark
the following distance from both ends as follows:
