TUFFY BILL OF MATERIALS

All lumber listed as 1" is "Four quarters" stock finished as full as possible. This will generally result in lumber 3/4" to 7/8" thick. All thicknesses under 1" are to be considered net as are all widths. All lengths allow stock for trimming to fit. We suggest grouping widths and lengths and re-sawing to size if a circular saw is available. This will result in a considerable savings on the lumber. ALL PLYWOOD must be an Exterior type. Grades of plywood are noted. All plywood 1/4" or 3/8" thick is to be three ply. All thicker plywood to be a minimum of five ply. With the FRAME KIT the items highlighted in red will not be required. Items highlighted in green are in the fastening kit.
