Horseshoe Pit Frame

Instructions

1. 1. Build sides of frame

   • Cut all the frame boards.
   • Set your pocket hole jig for 1 1/2" thick material and drill 2 pocket holes in each end of all the frame boards except the Frame front/back boards. Secure the frame side slats in between two frame sides as shown in the picture. There should be a 6 1/8" gap between all the slats. Secure with 2 1/2" pocket hole screws and wood glue.

2. 2. Add frame front/back

   Attach two assembled sides between two frame front/back boards with the pocket holes already drilled in each ends of the frame side boards. Secure them with 2 1/2" pocket hole screws and wood glue so the outside side board is flush with the edge of the frame front/back boards.

3. 3. Assemble back of frame

   • Attach the frame back slat to the frame back board in the center. Secure with 2 1/2" pocket hole screws and wood glue.
   • Attach the frame pit back between the assembled sides and flush with the bottom of the frame back board. Secure with 2 1/2" pocket hole screws and wood glue.

4. 4. Build a second frame

   Repeat to build a second frame.

5. 5. Assemble backstop

   • Cut the backstop boards. With the pocket hole jig still set for 1 1/2" thick material, drill 3 pocket holes in each end of all the backstop slat boards.
   • Attach the backstop slats between the 3 backstop legs so they are flush with the front or set slightly back (1/4").
   • Also set the top slat 1/4" below the top of the leg and leave a 1/4" gap between the slats. Secure to the legs with 2 1/2" pocket hole screws and wood glue.
