What size lumber did you use? Is it possible to use 2x6 lumber?

Yes you can use 2x6 or bigger but 2x4 is strong enough even in chicago with all the snow on the roof

The 2x4 will fit a rail 4 inches wide by 2 inches deep. A 4x6 fits a rail 6 inches wide by 4 inches deep.hope this helps.

The item for sale is just the black brackets. You supply the lumber (2x4 boards) and cut to whatever size you want. I made mine 31" tall and 36" deep, to accommodate my height comfort and to hold a 4x8 sheet of plywood. I am pleased with how sturdy my new sawhorses are. I used the screws that came with the brackets, and found them to be strong screws.

Sorry I don't have an exact measurement but a 2x6 is just slightly bigger. So a best "guess" from somebody that uses this regularly is 5.25".

2ft is about right. I ended up making a semi-permanent awning, by using 2 4x4's as posts, because it hung lower than I expected. The posts keep it at 6ft above the deck.

No, it won't fit on a 2x6. The unit has 4 bolts in the back of it. The bolt pattern is wider than a 2x6 and the bolts are short. I think a 2x10 would be wide enough but you would need some longer bolts. I mounted mine to a metal plate and then attached that to the ceiling.

The pilot holes are set for 2x4s. I guess you could adapt a2x8 they are 7 1/2". I used cedar boards and they worked great

It will rip a 2x4, which would be the max for dimensional lumber. I've ripped wider boards by flipping over after 1 cut then making another cut from the other end. Just make sure to line the cuts up exactly.

The answer is no..your not to heavy...I would suggest bolting a piece of 2x6 wood across two ceiling joists and then bolting bracket to the 2x6 block...it most likely will be about 24" (+/-)...the more bolts the more times you divide and distribute the weight...

yes.2x6 boards (which is what this is designed for) refers to the with before it is trimmed at the lumber mill. after trimming a 2x6 is technically a 1 1/2" x 5 1/2"

They say you can use any 2" x 2" wood but we used redwood and I'd recommend it. We even added reinforced braces in various places along the roof and in the corners (made it much more sturdy). Any covering goes over it quite easily (obviously the thicker the less likely to tear). Best way to put covering on is to use a large roll and roll from the ground over the top (on the sides). We used Solex. Love it! Its tough and easy to install. We have an amazing greenhouse for much cheaper than buying one of this quality outright.

A 2x4 will fit sideways in the notches on either end reasonably firmly, but I would recommended buying a set of clamps to hold the wood to the top. My experiences have shown the base to be somewhat wobbly to try to saw without clamping the wood down.

you can make any lumber dimension you can physically get from the log by moving the guide board. I would recommend shaving an 1/8th inch off the guide board and securing it to small pieces at the end of the log you are cutting.

Plus you'll have to find milled lumber. 1x6 dimension lumber is actually 3/4"x 5 1/2". The bracket gap is 1/2".

It requires quite a bit of wood for even the simple design. It was around $260 for the lumber. The more complex designs in the kit would cost extra. Also consider delivery as the main beam is a 16' 4"x6".

I put mine on a deck foundation using 2 by 6's for support and then deck boards on that. I did put 4X4's in concrete on all 4 corners and bolted the 2X6's to the 4X4's. Make your wood deck sturdy and keep working to keep it level and you should have no problems supporting the weight.

Go here and you can get the manual. IF you have not already bought one of these do not unless you are looking at light wood working. I ended up making mine an Armorers Bench by reinforcing it with 2X8 lumber. http://servicenet.blackanddecker.com/Products/Detail?isId=true&productNumber=WM425&selectedType=14632#
