I’ve got a table saw, a cordless power drill, and wood screws. I was going to run to Home Depot for the wood and any other supplies I might need.

Any tips?

    • Draw out a quick plan with measurements on it. That way, when you go to cut the wood, you’ll have a reference.
    • Make sure you’re using screws that are appropriate for outdoor use.
    • If you’re getting 2x4s, go to the end of the pile and look down the length of the boards to find straight ones. They’ll be way easier to work with.
    • Consider building it high enough to store a small fridge or ice machine underneath
    • If it’s not a permanent installation, consider adding casters like these. Get two fixed ones and two swivel ones, with brakes.
    • Again, if it’s not a permanent installation, and you want to add an overhead sign, make it easy to remove for storage.

    Sounds like a fun time!
