Install Intermediate Vertical Supports

What happens here

Once the main base and end frames are assembled, proceed to install intermediate vertical studs (also known as blocking or cripples) between the top and bottom rails of the frame. A horizontal top rail is then added across the length of the structure, connecting the tops of the end frames and any intermediate vertical studs. These components are securely fastened using a nail gun, ensuring precise alignment and strong joints to form the basic shape and support for the future cladding and potential internal shelving or appliance cutouts.

Goal: Integrate intermediate vertical studs and a horizontal top rail into the existing frame to create structural integrity and define internal compartments.
