Imagine you have a picture frame that just has the sides. It is easy to apply a little pressure and shift the whole thing so it isn't square anymore, but if you have a back on it you can't do that. This is the same thing, it is just lying down on the floor.
ok, I did say I was a bit of a ****** when it came to building so I had to expect someone to explain in detail. I get the idea of the plywood
. I was just confirming you meant the bottom and not the top. Someone else recommended the top which isn't an option. I like the carpet/rubber option. I'd like to make a step somehow but not sure where to put it or how to design it. Getting on without a step is a bit cumbersome.
