BUILDING THE BACK WALL
This wall is opposite to the door and is where the A/C unit will be installed in.
Take extra care to ensure that the air conditioner cutout dimensions are correct for the air conditioner
you have selected. Leave a 1/4" gap all around the air conditioner - make the cutout 1/2" taller and
1/2" wider than your air conditioner. We used a 15K LG A/C for this room.
Treated lumber is used for the BOTTOM PLATE since the BOTTOM PLATE may be mounted to the
concrete (indoor coolers with no floor) and on occasion get wet. White wood is not treated and used for
all other boards in construction of the cooler.
• Measure twice cut once!
• For the BOTTOM PLATE cut an 8' long treated 2 x 4 to 89" long.
• Mark the location of each wall stud on the 2 x 4.
• Do the same for the TOP PLATE by cutting an 8’ long white wood 2 x 4 to 89" long.
• Mark all 2 x 4s with a pencil and straight edge to identify the edge of the mating 2 x 4s.
• Mark an "X" on the side of the line that will be covered by the mating 2 x 4.
