Note: Slow the torque down on the cordless drill so that the wood doesn’t split when driving the screw in. Attach to the long 2x2s with exterior wood glue 2” exterior pocket hole screws, leaving 1- 1 1/2” space between the bottom of the planter wall and the bottom of the 2x2s (this allows for water to escape beneath the planter). Use a Kreg pocket hole jig to drill 2, 1 1/4” holes, close together on each corner, as close to the edge as possible so that the pocket holes are going through the pickets and the 1×2. Place the longest 2x2s on either side of the 18” tall planter wall, with the 1x2s facing down. Repeat this process for both planter walls that are 18” tall, and for the 4 side planter walls that will only need 2 pickets each instead of 8. This spacing will allow the wood to expand in heat/moisture without causing the planter walls to buckle. Place the remaining 6 pickets in between the pickets on either end, allowing a thin gap between each picket (1/16-1/8”- doesn’t haven’t to be exact or perfect). Attach pickets to 1×2 with exterior wood glue and 3/4” nails. Place 2 of the 45” long 2x2s 12” apart and place a corresponding length picket on either end so the ends of the pickets are flush with the 1x2s on both sides.
