Dan, Disregard what I said about the outer measurements of 25" and 28". Eric drew the print with folded up sides. Those measurements are not spar to spar but are the front and rear sides folded upward to the top. Hence the 46" and 42.125" measurements represent the sides folded up to the top. Duhhhhh. I feel as smart as Homer Simpson.
