Where it fits my build
I built the storage-bin drawer frame on the patio from a measured layout. I joined the timber, added inside corner brackets and fitted the base before moving on to the lining.
I cut the rubber mat with scissors, cleaned the wood and used spray adhesive in sections with a roller. Screws and washers attached the mat, and the slides joined the drawer to its surrounding cabinet frame.

My build notes
The drawer went through several distinct stages before it could slide in the cabinet. The photographs show the exposed frame first and the lined drawer later, making the changes in access and fastening positions visible.
Measuring, framing, lining and slide installation were separate stages of the drawer assembly.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
BHTOP supplies two-inch smooth-shank nails. Freeman supplies longer ring-shank nails, so the length and shank pattern are the central differences from an assorted project pack.
BHTOP Two-Inch Framing Nails
These BHTOP framing nails use smooth shanks and plastic collation. The two-inch nails are arranged in 21-degree strips.
