Eip the | by 10 

 inch by 2 foot board, 

 making four strips, 

 each 2 \ inches wide. 

 Cut to lengths of 

 sides and ends and 

 plane to dimensions 

 given above. Saw 

 from the f by 12 inch 

 by 4 foot board two 

 pieces, each 21^ 

 inches long and plane 

 to dimensions. Cut 

 notches in ends of end 

 pieces as shown in the 

 drawing. 



To assemble, nail 

 the ends to sides. 

 Use 8-penny nails, 

 putting three nails 

 into each cover, two 

 through the 

 pieces into the 

 piecos, and 

 through the side piece 

 into the end piece. 

 This method of nailing 

 makes a good strong 

 corner. Be careful not 

 to split the wood 

 when nailing. Next 

 nail the bottom boards in place, using 6-penny nails. Cover the 

 crack between the two bottom boards with a narrow strip of wood 

 to prevent the sand or soil from sifting through the crack.
