--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Measure 4x4 height, find studs
Cut wood
Measure and mark holes every 12 in apart starting from 12 in from the top.
Using Machine Press drill holes 31/2" deep with a 15 degree angle.
Using 1/2 drill bit drill two hole on each 4x4 all the way straight through
to fasten 4x4's to wall studs.
Measure off the nearest wall at the top and bottom or use a level (I didn't
have one) and level the 4x4's vertical.
Using the galvanized screws and the socket wrench screw the 4x4's into the studs
in the wall.
By using larger poles as pegs to hold the boards you will not
need to cover them with foam. After all, if i was going to cover the wood with
foam I could have used another method.
Cut 8 pieces from each pole approx 22" long (your requirements may very)
and sand the ends for clean insertion.
Stick the newly made pegs into the holes and your done. You can add and removes
pegs as you need.
