Safe Arbor
Garden structures are a great way to call attention to a calm area of the yard where you can sit and enjoy nature or simply the sounds of silence. Our garden arbor is simple to make and can be completed in about half a day. Since some of the parts get heavy when assembled, its a good idea to have a friend around to help you with some parts of the construction. The nished height of this arbor is 8 feet. You can decide if you want to set the feet in concrete anchors or make a free-standing base.
Materials:
4 4x4x8 pressure-treated Southern Pine (legs) 2- 2x8x8 pressure-treated Southern Pine (bottom rails) 3 2x6x8 pressure-treated Southern Pine (top rails) screws designed for use with pressure-treated lumber drill/screwgun/drill bits Jig saw Galvanized bolts, nuts and washers
2. Measure in 18 from both ends of the bottom rails and draw a line across the width of the piece. Drill three holes evenly spaced for the carriage bolts. 3. On each end of the top rails, draw and cut the tail design. We used the scrap piece cut from the bottom rails as a pattern. 4. Measure in from each end of the top rails 12 and cut a notch roughly half the width of the rail so that it will saddle over the bottom rails.
3. Using clamps to hold them in place, attach the front and rear bottom rails to the legs. Complete the pilot holes through the legs using the holes in the rails as guides. When the legs are properly spaced, the holes will align with the centers of the legs. Install and tighten the carriage bolts, with the washers and nuts facing inside the structure. 4. Measure and mark the locations for the top rails, spacing them to suit your taste. Ours are approximately 11 on center. You may prefer different spacing. 5. With the help of a friend, lift the top rails into place, ensuring that the notches t snugly over the bottom rails. Secure to the bottom rails using screws. 6. Replace the temporary supports with permanent, sturdy supports of your choice. Enjoy!
Cutting:
1. Cut both of the 2x8x8s into 6 (bottom rails) and 2 (side supports) sections. 2. Cut the 2x6x8s in half (top rails). You should end up with 6 pieces - 4 in length.
Assembling:
Note: For the purpose of these instructions, well assume the arbor will be free-standing on at, level ground. 1. Lay 2 of the legs on the ground and attach the side support even with the tops of the posts. Check for square and install 3 screws on each end. Repeat for the other leg assembly. 2. Using scrap lumber as temporary supports and with the help of a friend, stand up the leg assemblies and secure in place. They should be centered three feet apart. Use a level to make sure theyre plumb.

Dogs are more than just pets: Theyre members of the family, furry condants, valiant watchdogs, and childrens playmates. For their unconditional love and affection, they deserve the best: a top-of-the-line home complete with columns and a window. After all, they need a place to hang out during their outdoor time. You know the dog next door will be green with envy.
2. Attach the nished side walls to the base using construction adhesive and screws. 3 8 Southern Pine trim moulding 2 4x8x pressure-treated plywood 2 tubes construction adhesive 2 1 lb. boxes screws designed for pressure-treated wood 1 tube silicone caulk 1 1 lb. box nish nails 3. To make the 4 end walls, cut 4 lengths to 10 (top and bottom plates) and 4 to 28 (studs). Assemble these walls and attach to the side walls and base using screws. 4. You should now have a base with side walls and end walls attached, leaving openings at both ends measuring 16 wide. 3. Lay out the roof rafters to form the 2 sides of the roof and attach the plywood using screws. 4. Attach 2 roof sides to form roof structure and sit on top of side walls, centering front to back. Test for rigidity. You may need to add one or two ceiling joists to keep walls from bowing out. Attach roof structure to walls using screws. 5. Use silicone caulk to seal center seam in roof structure. 6. Attach rolled asphalt roong to roof structure if in rain-prone area. Match rolled roong to house. 7. Cut and miter crown molding to t perimeter of roof. Attach with nish nails. 8. Attach screen or plywood to roof structure ends to close openings.
Finishing Touches:
1. Cut and attach siding to side walls and end walls, leaving appropriate openings for front door and rear window. 2. Build or purchase stock shutters for rear window of structure. Attach with screws or nails. 3. Build or purchase stock shutters for front door. Attach using screws or nails, or use hinges to create working doors. 4. Add trim over front door and rear window. Attach with nails. 5. Paint the structure to suit.

Nothing says spring like the sounds of songbirds in your backyard. Thats why its so important to make your yard an inviting home to natures little musicians. Heres a simple-to-build bird house that you can make with a single 1x10x8 long Southern Pine board and some supplies you may already have in the shop.
Assembling:
1. Attach the left, right and rear walls to the base using glue and nish nails. Do NOT attach the front wall yet! 2. Once the glue has dried, t the front wall onto the base. You may need to sand the sides to allow it to slide in. A tight t is good. With the front wall in place, measure up from the base on the side walls and drill a small pilot hole through the side walls and into the front wall. Well use small screws here to make the front wall removable. 3. Place the two beveled edges of the pieces labeled R together and attach with glue and nish nails. Once it has dried, t it onto the walls of the bird house and measure for the correct locations to attach it to the side and rear walls. Be sure NOT to attach it to the front wall. 4. Test to make sure the front wall is easily removed at this point. Again, you may need to sand or plane some wood off to ensure it does. This will allow you to clean out the house each winter if necessary. 5. To install the bird house, attach a hook to the top, or use a pipe ange and galvanized pipe to set it into the ground. 6. Paint to suit.
1. Cut 3 pieces to 12 in length. Label one of the pieces in pencil with a B for base and the other two with R for roof. Bevel each of the Rs on a long edge to 45 degrees. 2. Cut another piece to 10 in length. Now, rip it in half lengthwise with a 45 degree bevel. You should have 2 pieces measuring approximately 4 by 10. These will be the side walls. 3. Cut 2 more pieces to 7 3/8 in length and rip them to 5 5/8 wide. These will be the front and rear walls mark them F and Rr. Measure and mark the center of each piece lengthwise. Next, measure up each side 4 and draw a line from each of these points to the center mark at the top of the piece. You should have created the shape of a little house on the face of the board. Cut off the excess.

Question: What beats the taste of home-grown tomatoes or peppers? Answer nothing! And the perfect planting spot makes all the difference in the world. With this simple project, you can create a raised garden bed anywhere you want it.
2. Using screws designed for pressure-treated lumber, install 3 at each corner, countersinking. You may need a friend to help you line up the ends on this step. 3. Once all 4 sides are connected, place the mitered rails along the top edges. When placed close together, they should overhang the sides by roughly - around the perimeter. 4. Use construction adhesive and screws designed for use with pressure-treated lumber to attach the rails to the sides. A. Optionally, you can drill pilot holes and drive screws into the mitered corners of the top rails, attaching them to each other. This will help prevent splitting at the miters. B. A second option is to dress the edges of the top rail with a router. We used an ogee bit to soften the hard edges slightly. 5. To ensure the bed stays in place, drive stakes into the ground at the four corners and attach them to the sides with screws. 6. Finally, install landscape fabric along the bottom and up the sides to inhibit weed growth. 7. Now its time to grow!
Cutting:
1. Square off one end of each of the 2x8x8s. Cut 2 of them to 95 long. Cut the remaining 2 to 92 long. Well refer to these as short and long sides. 2. Cut a 45 degree angle on each end of the 1x4x8s. Be sure they measure 96 on the long edges when youre done. These are the top rails.
Assembling:
1. Lay out both the long and short sides to form an 8 square. Again, be sure that all the end grain is cupped inward. This way, the boards will tend to move in the same direction and retain their shape more naturally.

Glue and nail into place. Allow to dry. 6. For the top, glue and nail one of the remaining 24 long pieces of 1x10 toward the rear of the base. Measure and cut the last 24 long 1x10 and simply lay it in place on the front of the top. 7. Attach strap hinges 4 from the side to this piece and test for proper alignment. Sand or cut the board as needed to open and close smoothly. 8. Attach the top cleat to the top pieces, cutting at the hinge point and beveling each side at 45 degrees so that they will clear when the top is opened. 9. Install furniture glides on bottom runners. 10. Paint to suit.
1. Attach the sides to the top and bottom using glue and nish nails to form an open box 36 x 16. 2. Use glue and nails to attach one of the 1x12x24 pieces to the back. The second part of the back needs to be tted from a 1x6, then glued and nailed. 3. Measure and cut a 1x3 to act as a valance panel at the top. This will also serve as a stabilizer and could hide an optional light behind it!
Assembling:
