Directions

Create the Sides
Attach the two 1x3 sides @ 32" to the two 1x3 sides @ 16" using 1 1/4" Kreg screws.
Please note that these measurements were all created to fit the standard boot tray I have. You may need to alter the measurements to suit yours.
-
Prepare Slats
Cut all 13 1x2 slats down to 16" and add 2 pocket holes on each end.
-
Measure Your Boot Tray
All of the instructions for this boot tray cover are made and measured to suit my standard boot tray which is 29 3/4" x 14 3/4".
Please note you may need to alter the measurements to suit your project.
-
Attach Slats
Attach each slat with 1 1/4" pocket screws. Use a scrap piece of 1x2 to space the 13 slats evenly.
-
Finish as Desired
Due to wet shoes frequently landing on this wood, you will want to treat it with polyurethane for protection.

Admire the Beauty
Something about all those evenly spaced lines is beautiful, isn't it? :)
