    Interior arch project
    I would like to construct an arched entry into my dining area. Currently, there is a 70” wide x 4.5” deep x 8’ high opening between two walls; ceiling is 8’ high. I think it needs a 1’ head wall at the top of the arch. Any suggestions on how to construct a frame, arch, and cover it with drywall and mud?

    If you go to page 3 of this interior home impr. Section, 6th post down, it is explained how to build an arched opening. Post back if you have further questions about building the arches.
