INSTRUCTIONS - Part Three:
Assemble the Panels to the Corner Posts using the 1/4" bolts, washers, and nuts.
 |
NOTE: Insert a washer on each side of the wood! |
You now have two sides and the back of the Succah standing.
Using the Cross-member Brackets as templates, drill through the holes in the Brackets to make corresponding holes in the Cross-members.
|
NOTE: It is important to ensure that the Cross-members are perfectly square with the Corner Posts when making the holes. Here is a suggestion to help in this process: Let the Cross-member rest on the Galvanized Corner Brackets between the Corner Posts. Be sure the correct Cross-member and its end match the Corner Post as marked (i.e.: "right" end of the Rear Cross-member is aligned to the Right Rear Corner Post). Use a clamp to hold one end of the Cross-member to the Bracket while you drill the other end. Once the holes are mode, insert bolts and washers and hand-tighten the nuts. Then, after removing the clamp, drill the holes in the other end of the Cross-member and bolt to the Bracket. Continue around until all four Cross-members are in place. |
Likewise, drill and assemble the Bottom Front Cross-member.
Using a screwdriver and wrench, firmly tighten all nuts.
Lay the 1" x 2" lath boards on edge on the Front and Rear Top Cross-members, perpendicular to them and about a foot apart. Tie them firmly to the Cross-members to form the roof, as shown in Figure 13.
|
A more elegant, but complex, approach is to make notches on the tops of the Front and Rear Cross-members and in the bottoms of the 1" x 2" roof boards, thereby allowing the 1" x 2"s to be interlocked with the Cross-members. (See Figure 15) |
Your Succah framework is now complete, as shown in Figure 14!!!
Finally, staple quality burlap to the sides and back for a beautiful, rustic, wilderness look. Place bush and tree trimmings on the roof to complete. Inside is plenty of room for a standard picnic table and benches or chairs.
