Bulk Up Frame for Siding

What happens here

To prepare the frame for siding, attach additional 2x4 pieces to the existing vertical supports and horizontal beams. This process, referred to as 'bulking up' the frame, serves two purposes: it enhances the structural integrity and rigidity of the bed, and it creates a wider, flat surface for easy and seamless attachment of siding materials like shiplap or plywood. Secure these additional pieces with screws, ensuring they are flush with the main frame.

Goal: Add additional 2x4 pieces around the vertical supports and horizontal beams to 'bulk up' the frame. This increases structural integrity and creates a flat, clean surface for attaching decorative siding materials.
