2ft x 2ft x 2ft planter box - how to join the 2x4s?
#1
I'm trying to build a planter box that is 2ft cubed (outer dimensions) thats a cube constructed out of 2x4s with 1x4s paneling the sides. I've constructed the top and bottom squares and now i need vertical posts.

My main concern with the vertical posts is how to join them to the top and bottom squares. If I go straight through the top or bottom 2x4 then i need very long screws just to get through the initial 3.5" of 2x4. I could also add screws at an angle but it seems easy to have poor aim and come out the side.

does that make sense to anyone? any advice?
