STEP 1
Start by drilling pocket holes in each 61cm board. Two boards should have holes drilled in either end (2 pocket holes each end). One board should have 3 pocket holes drilled on the long sides of the board (3 pocket holes each side). Sand any rough edges.
STEP 2
Assemble your planter by placing all the pieces together (the bottom piece should have pocket holes facing down), and clamping the end boards together. Screw the pieces together using 19mm screws via the pocket holes.
STEP 3
Carefully flip the planter over and clamp and screw the bottom into place via pocket holes.
STEP 4
Cut the 2.5cm x 5cm trim pieces at a 45° angle. From tip to tip, the cut pieces will be the same size as each side of your planter box. Place each trim piece atop your planter box to double check the fit.
STEP 5
Cut a piece of heavy duty plastic to fit the inside of the planter, and slightly overhang. Trim any excess plastic.
STEP 6
Cut a piece of heavy duty plastic to fit the inside of the planter, and slightly overhang. Trim any excess plastic.

Install keyhole hangers over the drilled pocket holes on the back of the planter.
