Default Partition Template Help

So I've been doing some research, and I found a template for a partition. However, I have not been able to find how large to tell someone to print it. So, if anyone knows how to solve this problem, or has a template with instructions, please let me know.

Thanks!

It's very eazy to make your own template. Measure across the top and the bottom. Mark where the center is at top and bottom.With a piece of thin but ridged piece of cardboard, just a bit larger than half of the partition area. Fit and keep trimming to form a template to just one side to the center. Once you have a good fitment, lay the half template on a larger piece of cardboard and now just transfere the template from one side to the other. Your done! Good luck.

Default Eazy as 1,2,3

Once you have your template done. What I used was a thick (2") piece of white, highly compressed styrofoam. Sized to template. Covered w/ trunk material. Glued material to s/foam. Slide into place w/ H/D velcrose, (2 pcs @ top & bottom. Mine's been in position since 2002. This unit can come out & back in quit eaisily. It's very light and great sound proofing. You can get all the materials at your local home improvement store. The trrunk material can be purchased @ a material shop. Hope this helps.
