Instead of mixing pine and cedar, I used all cedar. I mounted the panels to the legs flush at the top so that I could add the trim pieces. Finised with Cedar Timber Oil.
Trim and all cedar increased the price to about $35 each. Of course cedar prices are really high right now.
Estimated Cost
$35
Estimated Time Investment
Day Project (6-9 Hours)
