hi, this is aari frame. this is 4 1/2 feet.

you have 4 wooden bars.
2 main bars and 2 cross bars.
in cross bar you'll have small holes, this is for adjustment.i've 60 holes in it.
in main bar you'll have big holes for tying rope, with which you'll stitch gaada cloth.i've 9 holes in this bar.

nails are used for adjustments,strong nails.
i've shown the frame lying on ground without stand.just frame alone.you need stand to place it over.my very first post has that.
you can see the gaada cloth, both side of the main frame.you'll attach the materials to it.
