• Position the completed back wall frame on top of the 4 upright
framing plates.
• While someone supports the frame to ensure that it doesn’t
move around, nail this back frame in place with 2 x 75mm
nails at each corner.
Carefully roll the frame over onto its base. (Pieces of timber
from the packaging may be used to temporarily brace the
frame before rolling it over).
• Position the remaining 2 x studs in the centre of the
end walls (using the end wall nogs to give the correct
measurement)
• Take the 4 remaining end wall nogs and fit these into the
end walls at the same height as the other nogs. Nail in
place at either end.
