5. Put a screw in each hole and drive them in with a drill.
6. Repeat with the other two corners and two 4-foot boards.
7. Set the two completed ends up on their sides parallel to each other and 8 feet apart.
8. Place two 8-foot boards on their edges spanning the two ends, again matching the numbers on the boards to the numbers on the posts. Like this:
