short length, marking up the four pairs A. A.. B.B., C.C., 

 and D.D. 



Next, you will require another hve pieces of cin. x 

 2in. each 7ft. loin. long. Put these aside; but note, when 

 marking out for cutting up, a square should be used, so as 

 to insure the cut being perfectly straight and true, thus 

 enabling good joints to be made when fitting together. 



iVow take tiie pair of lengths A. A., place them side 

 by side, fasten them together temporarily, either by clamps or 

 by nailing two short strips across them; mark oft" and cut out 

 the recesses, 2in. by lin. deep to receive three of the 7ft. 

 I oin lengths, fit and nail together as shown in diagram No. i, 

 then fit on the top sloping piece. A tin of the wood preserva- 

 tive used should be kept to hand, and the newly cut joints 

 brushed over with it, before being nailed together. 



The leng'ths B.B. must be similarly dealt with, and with 

 two of the 7ft. lOin. lengths, and other lengths cut to com- 

 plete the section as shown in diagram Nu. 2. 



The lengths C.C. are to be treated as A. A. and B.B., 

 using an 8ft. length of 6in. by lin. board, cutting this into 

 the uprights its full depth, which means cutting a recess 6in. 

 long by lin. deep m the two; uprights C.C, finally add the 

 sloping top-piece (2in. square quarteringj, as shown in dia- 

 gram No. 3. 



The lengths D.D. are to be similarly fitted, and as this 

 section is a replica of No. 3, with two exceptions, a diagram 

 is not given, the exceptions being that 2in. sc^uare quar- 

 tering is used in lieu of the 6in. by lin. board, and the 

 sloping top-piece does not extend beyond the' front ui)right 

 as in the other sections. 



In fitting all these skeleton sections together, it will 

 be best to work from the bottom, as the i8in. below bottom 

 rail has, in each instance, to go into the ground. 



Take the skeleton section A. A., and stretch wire 

 netting (|in. mesh), over the boi.om. i8in., securing same 

 with staples, firmly to the uprights and cross-bar. Now 

 take section D.D. and stretch wire netting over the whole of 

 it. The wire netting is to be on the outside of the sections.
