Step 3Build Frame
Using the 2'x2'x8' boards, its time to measure and cut the frame.
We used two boards, uncut, to be the top and bottom of the frame. We cut the other two to be slightly smaller than 4' so that the entire frame was 4'x8'.
Two of the smaller beams (which will be the vertical ones) should be at the outermost edge. The remaining two should be placed so that you have 4 rectangles of about the same size.
Once you've got it all measured and cut, pre-drill the pieces (so that they don't crack when you screw it) and go ahead and screw it all together.
We used a countersink bit because we wanted it clean, but that is entirely up to you.
