Big garden box side job.

I was asked to build a 26' long planter 30" wide x 30" high.
Decided to build with half laps and 12mm sipo dominos. There is a total of 120 domino holes. I prebuilt ( dry fitted) everything in my garage then transported to house and rebuilt on site. Had the cops come and inform me i needed a permit to have my trailer in the green space out back as no alley but thankfully he didn't ticket me.

Looks awesome!  I've done similar projects like that so I may steal some ideas from you!  Did you use red cedar?  and did you finish or is that just the lighting in the last pic?  As for the paneling, did it come like that or are those thin boards fit into the dadoes?

Yes it's western red cedar. It has a semi transparent natural cedar stain on it as I have found the stains to stand up the best. The paneling I made. It's 3/4 plywood on the back and the sides and front are a 1 3/8 Dado  5/8 plywood with tongue and groove cedar stabled from the backside and also fits in the dado. The panels are all set in 7/8 I also pocket hole screw all my panels into the frame.
