Starting at one end of the bed (perimeter line), measure along the border string line and make a mark at 10 1/2-feet and another at 20 1/2-feet using a permanent marker. These marks designate the location of the 2-inch by 4-inch board unions that form the bed frame. Set concrete blocks directly under the marks on the string and at both ends 6 inches inside the perimeter lines. Next, position the drilled 2-inch by 4-inch boards on the concrete blocks. The ends of the boards should join over the blocks. The 10 1/2 and the 9 1/2-foot-long boards should be oriented such that the ends with holes drilled 3 inches from the end are next to the perimeter lines. The 10-foot-long board should be in the middle.
