Marking and Cutting the Door Frame
1. Divide the Door Width: Divide the total width of the intended door by two to find
the center point for each side of the door frame.
2. Mark the Hoop: Measure from the center of the hoop to each side using the
half-width measurement you've calculated. Mark these points on the hoop where
the door frame will align.
3. Position the 2x4 Studs: Align a 2-inch by 4-inch stud vertically from the ground
up to the marked point on each side of the hoop. The 2x4s should have their
wider sides facing each other (with the narrow edge facing outward).
4. Trace and Cut the Curve:
a. Trace the curve of the hoop onto the top and bottom of each 2x4 stud.
b. Use a jigsaw to cut along the top mark to match the curve of the hoop.
c. At the bottom mark, cut a 1-⅜" deep notch. This notch will help to anchor
the stud firmly to your hoop structure. Ensure the 2x4 is slightly shorter
than the top of the hoop for a snug fit.
Securing the Door Frame
1. Attach the Studs:
a. Drill a ¼" hole through the hoop and the notched area of the 2x4.
b. Insert a ¼" by 3.5-inch carriage bolt through the hoop and the 2x4,
securing it with a washer and nut on the wood side. Make sure the bottom
