Outdoor Dish and Plate Rack

Build the basic frame from the two sides and top using 3/4" pocket holes and 1-1/4" pocket screws.

Attach the bottom shelf to the sides using pocket holes. This is a good spot to add cup hooks along the underside for hanging mugs, if you'd like the added function.

Attach the remaining shelves the same way. Attach the front rails with pocket holes driven from the back side; for the top rail, add finish nails through the top face for extra hold.

Sand every edge and apply an exterior-rated finish before this rack sees its first season outdoors.
