Step 4Attaching hinges
I used some himges that I had around the house. When selecting, just make sure they are large enough.
Place the panels next to each other. I predrilled holes form my screws which made it easier to screw them in. I first attached the hinges on one panel and then attached them to the second. Make sure you are attaching the hinges so that they open and close the right way.
Note: Depending how you want your panels to open and close the hinges can be positioned differently. The panels can open up towards you, or away from you like I did. If you stagger the two panels a little, the panels will not open all the way up, which might be desirable so there is less chance of it collapsing. In the third picture you can see that the top panel is a little to the right of the bottom one.
