Most often that happens because the edges are not co-planar. Can you share a skp file that shows the problem?

Thanks for the help much appreciate your time . Not sure how, but I removed all the inside lines and it worked. I still have a bracket that is under one end that I am having trouble making the face.  
I don’t know how to share the skp file ?
