Need advice

1098
5

I want to build this but need some advice, the frame of the top. I was thinking about using 3/4 plywood for the sides. Making the whole side out of 1 sheet, the question is strength. Do you think it will be strong enough if a kid decides to grab on. I plan on running a 2×4 between them for added ridgidity.

Any added input is appreciated.

Should not be a problem as long as you tie all 4 corners together. 3/4 ply is pretty stiff.

I think its the same thing as Brian said tie in all four corners. as the picture looks right now it looks too flimsy

Thanks for the input guys. I don’t think the lady wants it at the price I told her.
