This was exhausting and upset me a lot! I had no help, went through four bottles of gatorade, 10 pints of sweat because it was like 90˚ outside, had to deal with a drill that couldn't run for a constant 5 seconds, had to buy a new drill which was a POS but that's what I get for buying the cheapest one possible. Took me around 10-11 hours to build the whole thing. I basically stole the design from Clay Davenports site, but made it smaller because my shed isn't tall enough for 6 levels.

All of the 2x4's and 2x2's cut


OSB cut to size


Sizes



Assembling the first frame using two 62" 2x2s, two 16 1/2" 2x2s, and one 59" 2x2


Last frame


Attached with hardware cloth. The 2x2s in the middle are where the hardware cloth is overlapped. I was low on it, so I had to be conservative with it and lay it where I would get the most cloth with the least cloth, if you get that


Attached legs. This is one of the more difficult parts. The rack was initially laid horizontally to attach the legs.


Attaching the frames using the 10" spacers.


After attaching the second frame, my drill died completely. So I went out to Target to buy a new one lol. And got the cheapest one possible

Old drill


New drill


Took like 2-5 minutes to drill a hole though a 2x2. And I still had quit a bit of drilling to go.

All frames assembled


Attaching the supports for the OSB with a 19" 2x2 and a 5 5/8" 2x2 as a spacer



After nailing in the OSB and nailing some back stops, I was FINALLY done. And after I cut like 10" off the legs to make is smaller.



If you look at the first and last pictures, you can see the difference in daylight by the garage door. I started at little before 10 A.M. And finished around 9:30 P.M.
