Cut the frame parts to length and assemble them facedown on a flat surface. Strengthen the frame by installing a 6-inch mending plate and a 3½-inch flat corner brace at each corner joint. Position the hardware pieces about ¼ of an inch from the edge of the frame and secure them with 3/4-inch-long flathead screws
