Gone Railin!
Hi All,
I am getting ready to build the frame for my staging yard, it's going to be 20 feet long, 2.5 feet wide. This yard will be 18 inches below the main level. For the main level I used a laser level to get my base height around the room.
Anyways, for the lower staging level and all benchwork, I plan on using 1x3's. For the cross pieces, I know a good standard to use is 16 inches on center. I also bought t-nuts and leveling feet for the legs (going to use 2 x 2's)
My question is, how far apart do the legs need to be spaced. I don't want to over-do it, but want to make sure there is enough support. I was thinking every other cross section, so basically every 32 inches there is a leg.
Thoughts?
I do appreciate the help. My last layout I had I was 15 when it was built and we actually paid a carpenter to do the bench-work (he did the enclosure) He got the whole thing up in a day.
