  4. 4Attached angled posts

    • Using a miter saw, cut a 22.5 degree miter on one end of a Front Post.
    • Align the board to be flush with the top of a Back Post and mark where the board needs to be cut to be flush on the bottom of the Bottom Shelf.
    • Cut a parallel 22.5 degree miter at that mark and repeat for the other Front Post. Using wood glue and pocket hole screws, attach each shelf to the Front Posts, ensuring each shelf is level.

  5. 5Seal for outdoor use

    If using outdoors, ensure you use an outdoor sealant to protect it from weather and water from watering the plants. If using indoors, add whatever stain you'd like, but ensure you add a protective coating to protect the piece from absorbing water.
