The overall components are as follows. It is perhaps easiest to staple these together, screws can be used instead if necessary. alignedges-component1

  • (A) 4x 15 x 300 x 300 mm (12 x 12 in) OSB sheets.
  • (B) 2x 15 x 300 x 600 mm (12 x 24 in) OSB sheets.
  • (C) 4x Rails (see below).
  • (D) 4x 50 x 300 mm (2 x 12 in) velcro strips, loop side.

Each of the 4 rails is constructed as follows. These should be glued or stapled together. alignedges-component2

  • (C1) 15 x 25 x 450 mm OSB strip.
  • (C2) 15 x 25 x 350 mm OSB strip.
  • (C3) 15 x 50 x 50 mm OSB square.
