FYI, I need to make the cuts 'on edge', not the flat surface of boards.

I have a skill saw, and hand tools, but that's it. How can I make these cuts ?

Your feedback is greatly appreciated !
You can buy a skill saw angle guide but if you want them precise then you really need a mitre saw.
Even if you cut the wood precise, pressure treated wood will shrink and twist when it dries out. Try to dry out the 2x4's before you build it.
