=============================================================
Here is the frame, I had pictures of the medicine and they some how were erased!

Measure twice, cut once. Start out by calculating how many planks you will need before you start. Get all supplies, tools, and medication necessary for the application.

1x2x8 are not actually 1"x2", that said I want my cabin roughly around 20"x16"x30". So I measured for 4x 16", 4x 20",and 4x 30". Cut your wood all at once, but check your measurements before each cut.

Now you have the base material for your build. It is always a good idea to keep all tools and supplies organized.

This is a general model. The planks are free standing to check fit. As you can see they fit just fine.

We start by clamping our joints together with a c-clamp. I have pre-drilled pilot holes for the screws as not to split the wood. Start with 1x 16" plank and 1x 20" plank. Make sure the longer plank is on the outer sides. Drill two screws evenly spaced starting in the 20 and ending in your 16. (
You will be repeating this step for the crown of your cabin as well.)

Do this for both ends, attach the other side in the same fashion. There should be 2x screws in each joint rite now totaling 8x screws.

Finishing the crown you should now have a general idea of the square footage of your grow.

Two outer frames complete. You can now check to see how they match up. You should have little to zero variance in the two.

Now you are ready for your supports. Clamp the 30" plank evenly at the end of the two outer support. Drill two more pilot holes to connect the 20 to the 30. The 16 will need to anchored to the 30 between the 4x screws. (Example in photo). This will account with how sturdy your joints are.

Wow, we have come along way from a few planks of wood haven't we? Repeat these steps for the last two supports. Checking your work along the way. Putting tools back where they need to be so there accessible when necessary.
![im13.jpg](/data/attachments/893/893238-b3bd48e2a3fcf2c5fe1c0260c0fb3fbc.jpg)
Check all joints. There should be 5x screws in each joint. 4x connecting the 20 to the 30 and 1 connecting 16 to 30. Take your time its worth it. Right now it fits a cloning dome and light perfectly within the parameters. Even using it at as a veg for up to 15x 16oz cups.

Now in my case, I built this one perfect for either a single plant, maybe for a male room, or even a 4-5 16oz cups. (Even 9 cups if you plan to just veg.)
The cabin frame is not finished. You can use it this way, but I advise a nice white paint or at least some type of sealant. If done correctly you will be able to mark all the corners that meet and you will have a collapsible frame that can be assembled with a screw driver.
