I use sheetrock screws. Nails are even cheaper.

Typically, most people butt the edge of intersecting boards together, pre-drill holes, then fasten with coated deck screws. Corner brackets can be purchased from Lowes hardware dept., to add further rigidity.

Ditto to what EG said. I butt the boards together, pre-drill and then use 3" stainless screws.

simpson strong tie makes LOTS of great hardware... corner braces, long angled pieces ,for any size, like $2 each, some coated deck screws, a whole box's hardware should be like $10... any real hardware or lowes or HD has them... takes the issue out of making 90 degree corners too....
