BUILD LIST:
○ Plywood or OSB*
○ 4x4 posts*
○ 2x4 or 2x6 (or combination) for the short ends unless you have more plywood/OSB
○ 2x4 or 2x6 for cross beam to keep the long sides from bowing
○ Some lumber to support the cross beam from the outside (I used 1x5 on the OSB and 2x4 on the plywood because that's what I had on hand, but wider is better and thickness doesn't matter as much. The point is to keep the screw from going through the plywood or OSB)
○ 3-1/2" T25 (star) deck screws (anti rust coating)
○ Longer screws may be needed for center support beam depending on the depth of the outside lumber
