A DIY planter box bench that is simple and easy. The bench can be made to fit just about any size outdoor cushions you happen to have or can find. The height can be made to better suit taller or shorter people. A thick cushion or no cushion is no problem either. Plastic planters of all different sizes can be placed inside the boxes to make the project last longer and maintenance free.
This project can be placed on a deck or patio and can be made out of cedar, pine or any other species of wood you may have on hand.
I’ll show you how I built mine in a simple and hassle free way.
All the measurements along with a materials and cut list can be found on my website at:

Gostei muito desse trabalho. Certamente em breve irei fazê-lo. Obrigado por postar os vídeos. O mundo está precisando de pessoas como você. Deus abençoe você é sua família!!!!
First let me say, I Stan is amazing and greatly appreciate his videos. I finally completed this project (all but a light sanding and stain). It's much bigger and heavier than I thought it would be. I'll attached the bench slates when I get it in the location I want it in. I originally had issues with the measurements but I see Stan updated the cut list. If your a beginner builder like myself, the step by step directions leave you thinking you won't have to put thought in to this project and that is not the case. Like I said, I'm new to building and I'm a women so I need things broke down and spelled out for me. All power tools come with directions clearly written by a man in both English and Spanish. I think the directions should also have a "womens" set of directions. HA!!! This project does take a good bit of time so don't think your gonna knock it out in a day. If you don't know how to use a kreg jig, figure it out before you start. It kicked my butt. I'm looking forward to working on more of Stans DIY projects.
Thanks for this vid. My husband it building one as we speak! Also really appreciate the detailed info on your blog!
excellent!
Excellent video! I watched with interest! We are grateful to you for viewing my videos and comment on them. I vote Thumb up!
That's a good way to turn what would be an otherwise empty barren space into a nice seating area.
Nice project Stan, i think it looks great. i like the bench and flower box combo. >:)…JP
Great build the only problem here is termites would eat it up in a month.We have to use cedar or treated material to make it last.Love the look of it gives me an idea for Wandas herb garden.
Good job
great project stan well done
I like it
good nice work and very beautiful family thanks
ahh. thanks god you are back. like you'r video and try to make everything what you make. you are awesome. (i have only 21) love and enyoj woodworking.
This looks like a good project for pallet wood, too!
Nice, I feel like it just makes sense to use as little stuff for as many uses possible
Thanks for sharing. Nice easy design and build.
Does it rain much where you live?
It was actually a good thing you had some space between your slats where your planter boxes sat. That allows for water drainage so no excess water stagnates!
Great project!
i built a couple boxes like that like 2 years & some change ago.theyre both "rustic" now since we leave em out front all yr round, but that wood have been a great idea for the backyard. .maybe ill build em again…and add the 2x3s..good stuff stan!!very nice !
Stan i really enjoyed the new project,have you ever tried the rubber mulch instead of the cypress,if so how did you like it,thank you for sharing,all the best to you and yours
