How it goes together
- Stand the end panels at each end of the floor and screw through them into the floor edge.
- Lap the side panels over the ends, then pre-drill and screw into the floor and the end panel edges.
- Load it, then screw the lid down into the top edges of the walls. Pre-drill so the edges don't split.
