What should I join the right angles of my new oak sleepers with? Just some long outdoor appropriate screws? Or do I need something more robust?

2400x200x100mm. The corners wont be mitred, I'm not a maniac.

I've seen some people use coach bolts.

I've built them with screws, placing 2x2 in each corner and fixing to the on the internal so as not to be fixing into the end grain.

I use 150mm hex head screws, but depends what you are building.

This is a sleeper planter I did this weekend using them.

@ffm and I used Toolstation 42827,
32 x 32 x 300 galvanised holding down angle plate
on the internal corners for a 'clean' look.
Holes were drilled out to allow TS 57582 5.0 x 50mm torx head screws.
