Greg Bickal's DIY Series: Buiding a Pumphouse
In this segment I will show you how to build a 32"x24"x24" pumphouse. This pumphouse should be able to accommodate a large sequence pump (without strainer basket)

Materials

Item	Qty	Description	Size
A	1	Green Treated Plywood	4'x8'x1/2"
B	4	Green Treated Lumber	2x4, 8' length
C	1	Screws	1/2" long (1 lbs)

Make a line down the center of the length of the peice of plywood
Make 2 lines down the width of the peice of plywood at the 32" marks
The plywood should look like so
Cut the plywood sheet in half along the mark down the length.
You should have 2 peices like so
Cut the plywood sheet along the marks down the width.You should now have 9 pieces like so
Take the 2 end peices and cut them so that they are 24x24
You should now have 8 peices that look like this
Cut the 2x4 into peices as shown. You should have 4 peices 32", 4 peices 21", and 4 peices 17"
Lay out two of the 32" peices and two of the 17" peices as shown.
Lay a peice of 24"x32" plywood over the frame.
Line up the boards to match the corner.
Attach screws at each board at the corner.
Continue to attach screws around the perimeter.
Repeat this process and make another side.
Set the 2 completed sides up in the air. Line up another 24"x24" peice on the side. Attach screws to each corner.
Place two of the 21" long peices of 2x4 along the top and bottom. Attach screws around the perimeter.
Repeat the process for the other side of the box.
Lay a 32x24 to the top (this is actually the bottom of the container). Attached a screw in one corner.
Adjust the box to make sure its square.
Having a helper to hand you screws makes the job go much faster.
Sometimes an additional hand is necessary to make sure the screws go in straight.
Inspect to make sure all screws are in tight.
Turn the box over. Its finished. You can use the other peice of 32"x24" plywood as a lid.
Here is what the pumphouse looks like with a Sequence 1000 (5800gph installed).
