All of these board were cut from one 2x10x12. They are painted to make it easy to set up. The like colors go together. They were clamped together; then the holes were drilled so as to make it easy to line up the holes. I then placed the 3/4 inch dowel pins in each hole which were cut from a dowel rod. The drilled holes are 7/8 inch, so if while sitting , if the wood were to swell the pins will still be easy to get out. You can see in the ends of the two longer base boards there are a total of four eye screws in this set for one side of an RV. Place the squared ends together with the eye screws lined up and then push a nail or bolt through the eyes of the screws, one from each side, to secure them and keep the boards from raising up as you back from one to the other. Many an RV has been damaged from a board jumping up on one end, and hitting the bottom of the RV. Guess how I know?
