The brace on the prior page will support the floor for the planting bed. But now we'll attach a brace that will support the shelving under the planting bed.
Measuring from the opposite end of the 2x4 leg now, measure up 4". Mark it. Next repeat the process undertaken on the prior page (pre-drilling and screwing), attaching a second brace to the leg.
Now position the second leg, so that you can attach it to the braces in the same fashion (pre-drilling and screwing). The result is shown in the photo above. You now have a solid framing unit, composed of four 2x4s joined together. Repeat the process for the other side of the raised bed. You are well on your way to finishing the frame for this project. In Step #5, the raised bed starts to take shape....
