E-Z FRAME 8X12 Quick Start Manual

Thank you for ordering your 8X12 E-Z Frame Standard Structure.
Included in your order are E-Z Frame brackets making it unnecessary to make any angle cuts what so ever
and assembly instructions and diagram. You will just need to purchase your lumber, fasteners and covering
material locally based on intended use of your structure. Visit our website for great ideas!
The location of each bracket is shown and labeled in the diagram. The location of each piece of lumber is
also shown and labeled with a letter that corresponds with the letters below on the E-Z Frame lumber
supply list. 2X2X8' lumber can be purchased at any lumber yard in either pine or redwood.
You will need to purchase 54 pieces of 2X2X8' lumber (1-1/2 X 1-1/2 X 8' actual dimension) in either pine
or redwood to complete your structure. The following are the cut sizes needed to frame the structure. All
cuts are straight cuts, NO ANGLE CUTS. Typically cuts are easiest made using a standard radial arm saw
