How many 2x2x8 lumber do I need?
1032849
We got a total of 58 but we did some extra bracing throughout. I e-mailed the manufacturer of EZ Frame and asked them. I can't remember what they said but we added extra for splitting and bracing. Shoot an e-mail to them. I think it took a couple/few days for them to get back to me.

You will need (54) 2X2X8's (actual size though are 1.5X1.5X8' - found at any local lumberyard) Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks. ezframeup

I'm not sure because the plastic legs have slots for the screws that are spaced for 2x4's. If you use 2x8's I'm sure you would hit enough of the slots but the gaps between the pieces of wood may be too large. When we put ours together I was kind of surprised how large the gap was between the 2x4's. I'm sure they make the plastic legs wide enough that it won't cause a problem if your 2x4's are not 100% straight as so often happens. So if you use four 2x8's you would only have 3 gaps between the pieces of wood instead of 7 gaps using eight 2x4's.

Depends on your placement on the door. I used2 per 8 foot door, one on the top.

probably not, but a length (about 36 inches) of 2" X 8" or 2" X 10" lumber would.

There are 23 pieces of lumber but when cut there are many more. Its a great garden, but it does take some time to assemble. If you have it cut at the hardware store, choose one where customer service is such that they actually care about what they are doing for you. I would take the directions and talk to them about whether they are willing to help. Even so you may end up returning more than once to get all of the pieces you require. Also it took lots of dirt to fill, we had some on hand and it took an additional 40+ 2SF bags to fill. All that said our garden is bonkers and we are enjoying it every day.

You want a fairly solid foundation of support. If you go to Home Depot or Lowes, just take the thickest plywood they offer and have it ripped into 12" to 18" slats. You can go ever wider if you can easily manipulate such a heavy piece of wood.

2 represents the thickness and 4 or 6 represents the width when referring to lumber.

If I remember right you need three sheets of 3/4 plywood and one sheet of 1/4 plywood. Also about 40' of 1X2 fir. The 3/4 ply should be finished like oak or birtch. A large table saw helps but you can cut all the pieces out with a skill saw. (if you are good at it)

Yes, more than enough for both. Be careful to gauge how close you are to the deck, you could cut grooves in the wood if you're too close.

With a package of 8 you can put up two shelves, there are always 4 bars so you need 4 per shelf unless you have something NEW in a triangular shape.

You will need 8 2x4's across the top, and another 2 for the bottom supports. You can view the instructions at 2x4 basics.com.

Judge the need by the estimated weight to be placed on the shelves. using 2 inch lumber will allow the brackets to be 6 feet apart if the overall weight is not to great.

You get 10 each of 5 different sizes of screws for a total of 50 screws. What size screw you use will depend on what your job is. The screws range from 1-inch to 2 1/2-inches for hard (oak) and soft (pine) woods. Bottom line, if you have a very small job, there may be enough screws, but I would say that it is most likely that you will need to buy extra screws of the appropriate size for your job.

Depends on how long the benches are and what kind of wood you are using. The longer the bench the greater the chance of collapse. This can be mitigated on an 8' bench by moving the supports 12" to 24" closer together, but no more than that. You may also want to consider using larger, both longer and bigger around, screws. Check with you lumber on the best wood to use in your area. I have made 2 of the 8' units for my children and they love them. However, if I were to make more in the future I would use the best available wood, cedar probably, rather than fir. And I would definitely use larger screws. As for the finish, I used 3 coats of urethane stain, followed with 2 coats of spar varnish. Depends on how long the benches are and what kind of wood you are using.

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#

These are made for 2x4 lumber. We thought about that as well, for stability reasons, but our concerns were diminished once we got the bench and the chair together. Very sturdy. Would buy again. We first bought the chair and was so impressed we ordered the bench also. Use the 2x4's you won't be disappointed.

It will accept a 2x8; or a 2x6 if you want a little more anchor to insert into the ground. These are powder coated steel,and very well made. Hope this helps!
