Can you post the dimensions of this cut for the sidewalls?


They were 14'6" point to point. Sides were set for 10". The angle was set to were one measured at the ends, down 13", then out 7" on both ends. Draw a straight line at the bottom from end to end. On the short piece of plywood, measure at the top 68". With a straight edge at that point, measure 10" down. From there, stand a 1'x2" on edge from the bow angles at the bottom, bend the 1 x 2, keeping the ends at the bottom of the angle up to the 10" mark and draw a new line. That is were the arch is coming from. Once cut, transfer it to the other side.

FYI! mark everything on your "c" grade side and always cut from the "c" side. Set your skillsaw to were the blade is just enough to cut thru the plywood. That helps keeping the "a" side from busting up.

Have anymore questions, ask here or email me at pirougebuild@gmail.com and I will pass a phone number to you.
