Instructions

Use a miter saw or a circular saw to make the cuts for the wood. The overall dimensions of this rack are 40 ½ inches wide by 31 ⅝ inches tall by 18 inches deep.
Assemble the lower frame that will hold the firewood. Use wood glue and 2½ inch wood screws to connect the boards. Always pre-drill pilot holes prior to inserting a screw.
Make the second box, which will support the table top. Use wood glue and two screws at each location.
Attach the legs to the shelf frame with wood glue and four screws in each location.
Flip the entire firewood rack right side up. Attach the lower shelf by using 1-inch thick spacer boards to hold the shelf in place, while attaching each corner with four 2½ inch screws with the shelf 1 inch off of the ground.
Using the cedar pickets, cut 12 short pieces, which will be used to cover the sides.
Use 80 grit sandpaper and an orbital sander to smooth ouot the cedar pickets on one side.
Cut four picket boards for the table top. Use a table saw to tip the width down on each board so they fit the width of the top perfectly.
Fill in the screw holes with wood putty. Allow time to cure.
Sand the firewood storage frame to remove rough edges and excess wood putty.
After reading the product label for proper application and safety instructions, paint the frame using Krylon^® SUPERMAXX^® All-In-One in Gloss Mandarin. Allow time to dry.
Using Krylon^® SUPERMAXX^® All-In-One in Gloss Almond, spray light coats on the pickets. Allow time to dry.
Attach the cedar pickets to the frame using 1½ wood screws.
Attach the table top from the top side using 1½ inch long screws.
