If you don't have a chop saw like me, you can head over to your local big box store and get your wood cut. They're not super precise, and they charge about 50 cents per cut, but for our purposes the precision is good enough—and if it's your only solution, you have to do with what you got.
I used this plan for a raised garden bed as a template, and customized from there. I'm making a bed that's about 3' by 4' (or 36" by 48"). The structure is also going to be 3' high, and the actual bed, 14" deep.
Here are the specs:
