After finishing drilling a total of four holes on both sides of our short (head/foot) boards we move onto the long (side) boards. We apply the same 1/2″ inch gap from the above and will be drilling for two bolts on each ends. This time the edges of the leg and board will not even up. It’ll be off by 1 1/2″ inches (thickness of my 2×6).
Side thickness: 1 1/2″ inches
This is what it should look like, make sure your first hole is parallel to long (head/foot) boards and are on the correct side. See above photo, then rotate and align very carefully.
