I want to attach two 6" wide boards to a 2" square post, essentially butt-joints for the 'aprons'. (see pic below)
This will be for an elevated garden bed in the yard, so nothing fancy, but I can't have it fall apart too soon. I don't want to go cutting dadoes for this.
I thought pocket screws, but will they stand the weight of 12 cu.ft of soil?
Maybe I could add a tiny supporting bracket below each apron end, and that should be enough reinforcement? Or should I add a crossbar on the inside that I can attach to the post with screws?
