Vertical frame pieces

Fix the five vertical pieces to the base of the frame. This is best done with plastic or metal brackets as shown in the detail below. Screw these into the vertical pieces first, then position each post and screw to the base. You could also nail the verticals in at an angle, but this isn't as accurate and can work loose.
