Cut eight, 2 x 2 x 47-1/2" posts. Lay out four posts on your work surface.
The frame will accommodate standard, 12" storage cubbies. To make a set of DIY, Industrial style storage cubbies from wood and off-the-shelf steel panels, check out this tutorial: http://www.pneumaticaddict.com/2016/02/diy-industrial-storage-cubbies.html
Sand the entire frame, making sure to knock down sharp edges. For a painted finish, sand up to a minimum of a 120 grit and for a stained finish, a minimum of a 220 grit. For smoother movement and extra protection, apply 1-2 coats of paste wax to the rails before adding storage cubbies.
