Introduction: The Strong, the Square, the Wood....THE BOX!!!
Instructions to building a sturdy 5 sided box.
Step 1: Materials
- (1) 2x4 ( min. 6' long)
-1/4" thick plywood (5'x6' sheet)
- 2 3/4" drywall screws ( min. 12)
-Spray pain ( color of your choice)
-wood primer paint ( color of your choice)
Step 2:
Cut 2x4 into 4, 16" long segments.
Step 3:
Cut the plywood into one 2' 3/4" x 17" piece.
* Best way to cut this piece is if you have a table saw.
Step 4:
One by one take the 2x4's and screw them into they top piece of plywood.
Use 2 screws each.
*As pictured, makes sure the 2x4 is vertical and along the longer side of the ply wood.
Step 5:
Cut two, 2' 1/2" x 14" pieces of plywood (From same original piece of plywood).
Step 6:
Attach the last 2 pieces of plywood to the long (rectangular) side of the box.
Use 4 screws per side
Drill the screw in on each corner of the box, and make sure the screw is entering the wood for stability.
*use extra screws if needed/wanted
Step 7:
Cut two 17" 3/4" x 14" pics of plywood.
Step 8:
Use 2 3/4" screws, and screw each piece onto the box.
This is the final step. Once you have done this you should have a 5 sided box.
