Materials Required

• 6 inch heavy (7/16") u-channel - ( 20 ft )
• 3/4" x 2" Bolts (32))
• 3/4" Nuts (32)

Fabrication Steps

Step 1: Cut pieces

Step 1. Torch or cold-cut channel to size

Cut the following pieces out of the 6 inch heavy (7/16") u-channel steel:

• A - 2 pieces, 44"
• B - 2 pieces, 28 3/4"
• C - 4 pieces, 20 3/4"
• D - 2 pieces, 9"

Cut the following pieces out of 1/4X2"X4" angle steel:

• E - 2 pieces 20 3/4"

Cut the following pieces out of 1/4" sheet steel:

• 2 pieces 10”x18” (bent (90 degrees???) 1.5” off the edge the long way)

Step 2: Punch holes

Step 2

• A - 1" from the tip of the edge, in the edges of 41 1/2" upright pieces at the following locations: 1", 5", 36.5", 40.5"(more to follow)
• B - Four holes in each of the 28 3/4" pieces such that they are 19.4" apart on the long axis and 4"(?not sure) apart on the short axis. They should form a centred rectangle parallel to each of the 26" pieces.
• C - Four holes in each of the 20 3/4" pieces such that they are 19.4" apart on the long axis and 4"(?not sure) apart on the short axis. They should form a centered rectangle parallel to each of the 18" pieces.
• D -
• E -

Step 3: Bolt pieces together

Step 3

Step 1: Gather the Form Pieces

Step 2: Put the Form Pieces Together

Step 3: Line the Vertical Beams along the Form and C-Clamp them in Place

Step 4: Place One Each of the Upper and Lower Cross Beams

Step 5: Flip the Frame
