I am hoping to get my skirt attached by this weekend. I will post pictures once I do, but for now you can check out how I set up my frame, and see the extra 2x4 portions that extend beyond the cutting surface which will support the skirt here. I am planning a 6 inch skirt all the way around since I have the space, but I think as little as 2-3 inches would be plenty since the horizontal center of balance of the sled should be at the bit. Vertically, it will depend on how your weight is distributed, as @dlang mentioned, the sled is usually bottom heavy, so a wider skirt at the bottom may be needed.
