The Sunshade Sandbox
Making the cleats
Using what's left of your 1" x 12" above, you'll need to rip off a number
of 3/4" x 3/4" strips for use in making the support cleats and two vertical
screw blocks in the front corners of the sandbox. Here's a list of what
you'll need:
For the bottom:
· (2) 43-3/4" long pieces that attach flush to the bottom of the left
and right side pieces (A)
· (2) 41" long pieces that attach flush to the bottom of the front and
back side pieces (A)
· (2) 19" long pieces that attach diagonally to the underside of the bottom
(J)
For the cover
(all attach to the underside of the cover (K):
· (1) 41" long piece for the back edge
· (1) 25-1/2" long piece for the front edge
· (2) 33-1/4" long pieces for the left and right sides
· (2) 9-1/2" long pieces for the front seat (C)
corners
· (2) 16" long pieces, diagonally from the seat centers to the center
of the cover
· (2) 19" long pieces, diagonally from the back posts to the center of
the cover
Miscellaneous:
· (1) 37" long canopy center support
· (2) 7-1/4" long shelf supports
· (2) 7-1/4" long vertical screw blocks for the front corners of the box
Assembly
All parts should be glued using two-part resorcinol or similar waterproof
glue, then nailed or screwed together with drywall screws.
Start by gluing and screwing the box sides (A) together with (8) #6 x 1" drywall screws. Use the 7-1/4" long vertical screw blocks in the front corners for reinforcement.
Use glue and (8) lag screws with 5/16" I.D. flat washers to attach the two posts to the back corners of the box. The bottom of the posts should be flush with the bottom of the sides (A).
Use glue and 4-penny finishing nails to attach the cleats to the undersides of the bottom (J) and cover (K)...and at the bottoms of the sides (A), as described above.
Drop the assembled bottom (J) into the box and attach it to the side cleat strips with (20) #6 x 1" drywall screws (DO NOT USE GLUE). Assemble the shelf (D) and shelf back (E) with glue and (5) #6 x 1-1/4" drywall screws up through the shelf bottom. Use glue and (2) #6 x 1" drywall screws to attach a 7-1/4" long shelf support cleat to the underside of each shelf end...then attach the shelf to the inside of the two posts using glue and (2) #6 x 1-1/2" drywall screws through each end cleat and into the posts.
