M2 ASSEMBLY GUIDE
2. The material you are cutting will need to by clamped to the wasteboard stud mounts or screwed into the
wasteboard. We recommend both clamping at the top and screwing in at the bottom to prevent warping.
If you want to screw your wasteboard to the wall and not use clamps, mark on your level wasteboard where it
rests on the stud mounts. Remove the wasteboard stud mounts from the wall, and attach using those guide
marks. Reattach to the wall into the same top holes you measured in the last section. Double check that your
wasteboard is level, and adjust as needed.
Drew’s Note: Always clamp or screw the material you’re cutting to the Wasteboard Stud Mounts so it doesn’t
move.
BUILDING YOUR FRAME PART 3: LEVELING YOUR FRAME AND ATTACHING YOUR MATERIAL
1. Mount the top beam to the wall using your guide marks from Step Two and ensure that it is level. To mount,
line up the bottom of the stud mounts with the wall marks you made. Only screw one D2 screw into the top of
one side. Level your top beam by holding the other side against the wall, using your 10” mark as a guide. Hold
a level against the top edge, and screw in the top of other side when it’s level. Screw in the bottom of the stud
mounts.

that the top beam and
wasteboard are level with
each other, the same distance
apart, and the centers
are aligned! Even a tiny
difference will throw off your
calibration.
