I found the pattern went together very well as listed. The only adjustment I had to make was to add 1' in height and deduct 1/2" in width of the two pieces and take a bit off the bottom piece, but those adjustments were to fit the buckets I could find locally. If you can get the Lowe's buckets, then the measurements were spot on. Also, chaulk is handy for marking the screening--fabric pencils did not work. The hardest thing was getting the wire handle back into the bucket after I put the trim on it. I ended up using pliers to open the hook a little bit, but not enough that it comes off.
