Making a Bench Planter That Looks Like A Bench

I just don't like the 'Adirondack Style' bench planters that I see all over Facebook Marketplace. Looking closer at them I notices most are just tacking the bottoms right to the box frame, or in some cases side nailing lengthwise boards with no other support. When I had a request from a regular customer to make her a cedar bench planter, I couldn't bring myself to just copy that design. This version adds an extra 1.75 inches of picket height so that the bottom can be properly braced, and it looks more like the bench which I already made for her. Depth of the box after properly installing a floor is 6.5 inches. Materials: 4 Cedar Fence Pickets (plus a bit of scrap) 1 inch brad nails Titebond III wood glue Measurements: Front Legs 11 inches. Back Legs 11 inch side and 23 inch back. Box Cuts: 30 long, 10 deep using one full picket and one piece of 1.75 wide picket. Top Trim: 1.25 inches wide, measure to fit. Back Rest: Measure length to fit flush. 1.5 inches wide, 1.5 inch spacing. Any questions, hit me up in the comments.
