actually we're going to cap it off so capping it off with 2x8 you got to get 12ft long boards because these are 10-footer so you need it to go a little bit longer because miters they kind of overlap a little bit more I'm going to have about a/ in reveal on each side MIT it around secure with deck screws our counter syn and this puppy will start looking real good [Music] well there we have it folks an intermediate beautiful gorgeous solid gardening box planter floral bed whatever you want to call it what I like about it is how beefy it is it's simple but yet elegant but also this little cap on top it creates a nice little bench area that you can come out have a cup of tea with you or coffee and uh so it's actually a functional thing big fan of it plus or minus about 300 bucks you're looking about 250 bucks with rebar and these 4X sixes and then you're probably looking for another 40 bucks of these 12T long uh 2x8s so a little bit steeper but I think it's well worth it cuz I think it really makes this area look awesome so let's move on
