1. Assemble Sides
- Assemble the sides by drilling pocket holes and attaching using 2-1/2" pocket screws.

2. Assemble Box

4. Install Planter Base
Pre-drill and install planter base using 1-5/8” exterior wood screws. Space boards approximately 3/4” apart. (Spacing is just to allow for drainage and not crucial) Staple plastic to the sides, then overlap weed barrier and staple it to the bottom to retain the soil but allow for drainage.

6. Attach the Cap
Use existing pocket holes to attach cap with 1-1/2” blue-kote pocket screws.
