Assemble Front Wall Frame
5.1 Using 1 1/2" x 3 1/2" and 1 1/2" x 5 1/2" pressure-treated lumber, construct front wall frame using the
drawing below as a reference. You will need four boards cut to 6'-11" and two boards cut to 5'-10 1/2" that
will be studs, two boards cut to 1'-3 1/4" that will be the bottom beams, one board cut to 5'-2 1/4" that
will be the top beam, two boards cut to 2'-11" that will be the door header and two boards cut to 7" that
will be cripple studs.
5.2 Connect the beams with 2x3" wood screws.
5.3 Using a speed square or carpenter's square, check the corners to make sure they are 90°.
