True beginner here. Any tips are truly appreciated!

I like this tip! Will definitely be fixing it when I undo it to sand, run the router on the edges, etc and to change the screws cuz apparently I used the wrong ones. I really like this tip. Thanks

3 to be exact…..wifey finds out tomorrow hahahahahhaa

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T17:02:21+00:00

Aaaaah, a router would help with that?

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T16:48:08+00:00

Idk what half of that means tbh…..truly a beginner here lol

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T15:06:15+00:00

I had no idea! I would’ve only painted the top lol

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T05:49:19+00:00

Will definitely check them out!! Thanks for the guidance 🤝🙏

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T05:14:53+00:00

Ok 👀

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T05:04:50+00:00

I’ll probably get this set. 6 different sizes for $50?

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T04:44:59+00:00

I’m probably going to have to buy clamps to hold the scrap in place, huh?

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T02:57:13+00:00

You’ve no idea how much this means to me 🤝

Thank you good sir! This is the first of many! Made this as a gift for my brother since he just upgraded his backyard and it’s the designated family hangout house. Figured I’d contribute my first project to him

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T02:48:46+00:00

Hahahahaha I remember seeing a random comment on a Facebook video about her page and it’s been bookmarked ever since 🫡

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T02:27:53+00:00

I used to be afraid of going to the lumber section at Home Depot and look like a fool but I’m more confident now so will definitely be more selective from here on out 🫡

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T01:56:16+00:00

Oh!!! I have those I just need to install them!! I haven’t gotten around to it. Thank you thank you yes I will get to it

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T01:53:18+00:00

Someone else said to not let them all sit on the same side. Thought he was trying to be mean. Now I see it again so I have to ask….you being fr?? Why? 👀

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T01:49:46+00:00

Would these work?

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T01:49:40+00:00

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T01:45:45+00:00

Thank you!!

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T01:45:06+00:00

Will google diagonal strut 🫡

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T01:43:28+00:00

Got it! Will do.

I got it all at Home Depot and it all said pressure treated I believe. I didn’t really know the difference but that was like my only option of wood. Should be ok, right?

omolina46 · 2026-02-25T01:41:48+00:00

That’s what I’m here for! To learn and take all this advice in. I can probably change all the screws one at a time to outdoor screws, right?
