Walls: There are two walls designated long and short to distinguish them. The long wall has overall dimensions of 95?X24?X3? whereas the short wall has overall dimensions of 41.75?X24?X3?. The vendor will cut slots from their 3? depth so they can accept the edges needed to complete the blastbox assembly.

For the large box, the long edge has overall dimensions of 81.5?X6?X11.44? and overall dimensions of 25.38?X6?X11.44? for the short edge.
