Step 1: Build the Box Simply cut your 2x3' boards down to fit the dimensions of your box and add extra support in the corners. Next cut out your floor to fit in the frame. Before adding your side pieces, set the box on its sides and lay the hardware cloth across the side and staple it into place. These instructions use the hardware cloth on 2 sides and the other 2 sides are plywood.
