Follow the cut diagram above to make all your cuts. All the angles are 25ยบ and be sure to orientate them the correct way.

Use the Yellow and Red pieces to create the arms. Sandwich these boards together using some Timberlok screws.
Assemble the Frame

Use the color coded diagram to help with the assembly. Use more 4.5" Timberlok screws.
Add the Feet

Flip over the frame and add your two feet. Be sure to center these to the frame.
Add the Supports

Eye ball a good angle and screw these in place. All that matters is that this section looks good. They just add support to the frame. Be sure to step back and make sure you are doing each side the same.
Add the Eye Screws

Use Stainless steel eye screws here. Pre drill and use a screw driver to screw them in. We used these: http://amzn.to/2u2GdEK
