Bolt it together with coach bolts. Consider a second spacer across the depth.
Edited to add: Your design happily makes bolts all the way through the wood a possibility. They will be more secure than screws. I used a similar approach to create some raised decking a year ago and it has stood the test of time.

Finally going to start on my work bench, as I've realised I can break it down into bitesized childcare friendly tasks.
Any comments on the design?
The orange lines denote what will be fixed to the brick wall of the outhouse. The idea being to use the building's strength.
I think I need supports at the bottom. But I started this design ages ago when I was teaching myself to use F360, so it may well be that I CBA to (graphically) make the supports for the bottom from unknow pieces - all the other pieces are pieces of wood I already own - one of the aims being to use what I have.
My main concern is any twisting or racking as it'll just be screwed together. I was actaully wondering about making spacers from dowels and screwing the uprights into the brick wall.
The cross pieces are 145x45mm and a bit under 2m long.
Constraints:
Cheers.
