Boards needed:
H -- Inner frame ends (2" by 6" by 36-1/2")D -- Outer frame ends (2" by 8" by 41")
Construct the first of the two frame ends by laying an inner piece (H) on top of an outer piece (D) so that H sits 1 1/2 inches in from one end of D, 3 inches in from the other end, and 3/4 inch in from what will be the top edge of D, as shown.
(Tip: To set this last distance, use a scrap of 3/4-inch plywood as a guide.) Secure with six 2 1/2-inch decking screws, as illustrated. The other frame end should be a mirror image of the first.
