Step 8More holes
OK, now you're going to drill the holes for the other stalks, which will give your budding loft its first squarish shape.
This is also where you set the height of your loft. I set mine at 5', which gave me some comfy headroom on top, and still made the underside navigable.
When you've figured out a good height, grab the two undrilled stalks and align them over the trunks at the height you want. Drill a hole at the center of the intersecting area. Also, be sure that you're drilling a hole on one of the faces of the trunk that doesn't already have a hole in it (these stalks run in a different direction than the ones you just drilled in the last step)
Look at the drawing here, too, if it's unclear. You're drilling holes to attach the stalks that will join the two sides of the frame.
Maybe the picture will help you get an idea of what you want to do.
I get a feeling it's worth more than a thousand of my words
