I am trying to find sets $X$ and $Y$ s.t. $\dim_B(X\bigcup{}Y)>\max\{\dim_B(X),\dim_B(Y)\}$.
At first I thought taking $X=[0,1]$ and $Y=\{10+1/n^2:n\ge{}1\}$ but I don't think that works. Is this even possible?

As Jens has mentioned that cannot be done for box dimension i.e. when the lower and the upper box dimensions coincide. But if you are talking about the lower box counting dimension, then there are such sets. You can check example 6.2 in Pesin's book: Dimension Theory in Dynamical Systems.
