Assembling My Square Foot Garden Bed

Now it’s time to put together our 4 2x12s.  Put your garden box together on a flat surface like your driveway or garage floor so you don’t twist or warp the boards.

Rotate corners (I always placed the new board on top of the end of previous board and work in a counterclockwise motion) when putting together and pre-drill holes for screws.  I used four deck screws which were twice as long as the thickness of the wood.

Here’s mine assembled on my garage floor.

That’s as far as I got in one afternoon, not too bad for someone that is carpentry challenged!
