Step 4Build the Frame
Now that all of the materials are cut to size let's build the frame.
I used the measurements off of my Sketch up drawing for placement of the fasteners. Then I measured them out on the actual wood. I had 2.5 inch screws so I had to drill some recessed screw holes and pilot holes into the rear and front posts to get the screws to seat in to the receiving parts properly. Remember the post are 1.5 inches thick (See the pictures below).
I started with the front and rear left post and connected the rails from there.
Next I just worked my way around one piece a time and got it together. Of course I checked my measurements and made the recessed screw holes for each piece as I went along. See the pics below.
