How to Build Temporary Wood Buildings
- 1). Measure four lengths of timber and cut to 10 feet. Measure and cut a further four lengths to 8 feet. This will provide the structure of your temporary wooden building, and marks the outline of the two sides of the building. Nail the 8 feet and 10 feet lengths at the corners to form two rectangles.
- 2). Mark the 10 feet lengths every 2 feet with a pencil. This will give the mark on which the studs will be centered for supporting the weight of the roof and stabilizing the structure.
- 3). Cut eight further 8 feet lengths of timber and fix to the center markings to support the two side panels. Nail each length top and bottom running vertically inside the frame.
- 4). Cut four lengths of 8 feet as cross-supports and fix to each of the side panels at the top and bottom of both ends, joining together to make the basic box structure of your temporary wood building.
- 5). Fix the structure into the ground, using a masonry drill and temporary fixing or hammered bolt where appropriate. Make sure the panels are vertical and the cross-supports are horizontal.
- 6). Fix wood panel sheeting using light nails to the exterior and roof of your temporary wood building to provide shelter from the weather as required.
