Building some cedar planter boxes to hang on the porch railing. Will be using a lock-miter joint on the 3' x 1' x 6" deep boxes. What would be the best glue to use to hold the joints together. Cedar being somewhat porous, I'm not sure. I used the expanding foam glue (Gorilla brand) last time and they lasted about 8 years before the wood and joints started coming apart. They will be outside and have a lot of moist dirt in them.
I'll screw on a plywood bottom with drainage holes. Screwed on because this is somewhat sacrificial - have had to replace the bottoms several times during the life of the original boxes.
