Using a chop saw, cut the two eight-foot-long 2 x 12″s each into two 6′ long pieces.
Take a 6′ piece and a 2′ piece and screw them together to make a 90-degree right-angle corner. Do this again with two more pieces of the same lengths that you’ve just cut.
Place the pieces perpendicularly and screw them together with the 2 1/2″ deck screws creating a rectangle. You will now have the bottom of the box!
Cut four 2 x 4’s to be 2′ long each. Attach the two foot long 2 x 4’s to the inside of the 2 x 12’s as shown using 2 1/2″ deck screws.
Attach the 2 1/2″ Corner Braces to the outside corners of the 2 x 12’s. Use two of the corner braces on each corner.
