Step 6Four Walls
Two panels attached together are quite heavy. You should get a few friends to help you raise the wa;; into place and hold it while you temporarily join them.
Put the first wall where you want it to be. Have your friends raise it, lifting the top ridge off of the ground while the bottom ridge stays put (someone can put their foot on it if you fear it will slip). A single person should then be able to hold it in place while everyone else raises the second wall.
Have those friends put the second wall where you want it to be and raise that. As we are creating a box, they should be at a right angle. We used duct tape at the top, middle and bottom to temporarily hold the two walls together. I also thought of zip ties, and even clothesline would work for the time being. Secure, we let go.
Follow these steps for the third and fourth wall. Remember to be outside of the structure before duct taping the last corner, as no one wants to be trapped inside a pallet prison until you can cut a door (there is a temptation to climb it, but it is not really together enough for this).
Your building should be pretty stable at this point. Note the weak points that you can reinforce in a bit.. Also note if your building is at right angles. This is the time for you and your crew to pick up corners and slide them around until it is where you want it..
