CUT THE BASE PARTS

Cutting the front posts (2 × 4) and back posts (4 × 4) to length is easy. Cutting the hanger parts is a bit trickier, primarily because the plant hangers splay out from the corners of the posts at a 45° angle. The top, outside post corners must be beveled to create flat mounting surface for the hangers. Mark the bevel cut lines on the outside and front faces of the posts (photo 1). Tilt the shoe of a jigsaw to 45° and bevel-cut along the layout lines (photo 2). Use a handsaw to make a stop cut that meets the bottom of the bevel cut in each back post, forming a shoulder (photo 3). Rip-cut some 1 × 6 stock to 2-3/4" wide (photo 4) using a table saw or a circular saw and a straightedge cutting guide. Cut six 30" long pieces and twelve 21-1/2 long pieces to make the siding strips.

Also use a circular saw or table saw to cut the bottom and back panels to length and width. Cut 1-1/2" long × 3-1/2" wide notches out of the front corners of the bottom panel. Cut the front post trim, bottom supports, and back climbing rails to length from 1 × 2 boards.
