Steps

Dimension Your Boards

Dimension all of your cedar boards according to the provided plans. Cedar is a great option because it is rot and bug resistant.

1

Make all of the angled cuts

Luckily, every angle cut will be either 45 degrees or 90 degrees.  They go quickly since it's only two angles.

2

Apply the Finish

Apply the stain and let it dry.  Then apply the sealer.  A spar urethane is the best option to seal wood outside

3

Attach the Boards with Pocket Holes

Using a Kreg Jig, drill your pocket holes and attach with wood glue and a clamp
