Step 1: Assemble the First Corner
- Position a Corner Cap on top of the Corner Leg and secure it with a Bolt.

Step 2: Install the Base

Step 3: Add the Short Panel
- Slide a Short Panel into place above the Base, on the inside of the Corner Leg and Cap.
- Secure the top hole with a Bolt and Wing Nut, then fix the remaining holes.
- Repeat the Corner Leg assembly on the opposite side of the Short Panel.
You now have three sides of the garden bed assembled.
Step 4: Complete the Remaining Sides
- Slide the next Long Panel into the remaining open side and secure it to the Corner Leg and Corner Cap.
- Attach the final Short Panel the same way, securing all holes.
- Fit the final Corner Leg and Corner Cap, fastening all bolts.
