I keep asking this question but I can't seem to get a response from your website. I need a frame 12ft long but only 5ft wide instead of 8ft. Can I just cut shorter wood or will it throw off the construction balance?

Husband believes walls should be made taller for the roof trellis and the whole greenhouse resecured. What I would do, is call them! We had the best customer service when we called a couple times with questions! They are very helpful!!

Boy, that could be a tough one - if you haven't already, try contacting the manufacturer. If that doesn't work (and I bet it won't) you might try finding a lumber store that caters to woodworkers and sells nice wood. Any hardwood (oak, mahogany, teak) will probably work. Problem will be that the standard sizes they sell probably won't match the slat. Most stores like that will cut the wood for you - length is not problem and maybe even width (they would need to cut a long strip off one side, called "ripping") however if the thickness isn't right they would need to plane it down and that might be more difficult. Good luck. Boy, that could be a tough one - if you haven't already, try contacting the manufacturer.

24" is usually good - but it still depends on the type of wood. Sometimes you will need to split it manually.

I actually pulled out the frame and extended it out, locking in the top half without extending the bottom vertical section part of the frame. From outside edge to outside edge along the top perimeter, it only measured 10 1/4 ft. by 10 1/4 ft, so the 12x12 measurement must be from feet to feet.

Built mine last fall using the foundation specs in the manual. At that time there was no foundation kit available. If you take the specs in the manual to a local lumber yard they should be able to cut the wood to suit. I'm sure they might even assemble the foundation for a price.The instructions should give you a rock solid foundation that will last at least 20 years if it all drains off properly- it's even a little overbuilt IMO

with a minimal extension range and minimal overhang then yes / other than that ? id have to say that you need to consider there intended use, ie; a 8 foot 6x6 placed on the saw table should be no problem if handled properly.! / however that is pushing the limits of this design. if they were to be used as a leverage point to move lumber to the table then they will fail in short order.

the proportions of the house are determined by the angles of the joints. by cutting them shorter you will weaken it wind resistance. if you need it narrower, build the box and instead of the peaked roof provided make your own with gussets to provide a smaller profile (not as tall). Sink four posts in the ground and attach them to your building anyway so that a strong wind won't take it.

You can find the lumber at Lowe's or any other place that sells the wood. Lowe's cut the wood to the proper lengths for me. The amount of wood and lengths are in the front part of the directions on how to put it together. It tells you the screws and stuff you need to purchase also.Have fun.

that would work. for me when I bought 2x of these, they did not work.....good thing is when and if you buy, ensure it is fullfiled by Amazon...this way if it does not work the way you want, u can return it....I ended up hiring a person who made a custom wood structure in my garage and that works great...

Yes. You can put any length bar on it that you want. Lowes has a good selection that includes the chain. Only problem is that cutting through a wider log with a longer bar takes more hp from you engine. I usually just use the 18" bar and cut from both sides. This has been a great saw. If fact, I bought a second one as a backup. I use 93 octane gas with oil and put fuel stabilizer in it. Only problem that I've ever had with the saw is the gas cap swells up from the ethanol in the modern gas. You can order a spare gas cap from your local hardware store for about $4,00. As easy fix is to just drain the gas of the saw after every use and unscrew the gas cap and leave it hang out after every use. Hope this has been of some help.

A1080 an 1900 will handle 8'. The 1900 came with the saw and I had the 1080 from an MTF-3 table.

It shouldn't be a problem for you. My older craftsman had this approximate table size. This is a great product for making a smaller saw seem like a cabinet saw, but still keeping the weight down for easy storage.

Yes, that is no problem, all you have to do is put the guide board on the center and the Lumbermaker will guide your saw in a straight line down the middle and split the log in half. Of course your bar length will have to be long enough.Dale

I'm not sure if I understand the question. It works like a typical saw. You push and pull back and forth. It works like a charm. I'm a petite woman and I was able to saw up many many large limbs into about 20 bundles. Some of the branches were 12 feet long. As long as the branch doesn't exceed 6 nches in diameter, the saw will be able to handle it. I'm glad I did not get a small chainsaw. I love this saw! If you get pine sap on it, some scrubbling bubbles spray will remove it like magic.

I had the same question when I ordered. I gave explicit instructions as to the EXACT size I wanted. I was ordering 10-12 feet, and was using it to cover a wood pile, so I certainly did not want separate small pieces. They are accommodating, and will cut you exactly what you want, just be very specific when you order. Hope I helped, Richard
