If the slats are longer than necessary, mark the correct measurements and then proceed to cut off the excess length.
You can use any type of saw to cut the slats.
Nail the slats together to form a frame but first of all, make two holes at the top.
Use wood glue to hold the two parts firmly together and then insert the screws into the holes.
