Nail 4 slats on these supports, beginning 3-1/4" from the back of the box and making a distance of 3-1/4" between each slat. This will leave a 9" space in front of the box for the irregular dishes. The front legs are made of the four pieces 1" thick × 4" wide × 35" long, and the back legs are 1" thick × 4" wide × 36" deep. This slant provides for the drainage. The drainer should be tipped a little to the corner in which the drain pipe is placed. If zinc is to be used for lining, it must be done before the slats are put into the box.
