Thank you, i need to ask husband to try this, but i have personal question what are the height this planter box?
I can't wait to try this!
Great to see that… I made it too. Using woodprix handbooks 🙂
hi
The planters will rot eventually how do you avoid that?
Awesome job I am looking to do the same for my patio
These are gorgeous and look perfect to put in front of my trashcan hiders in the front yard that I am making a patio for. The patio will have a lot of dirt / soil leftover. Do you think I could fill the base with the dirt and soil, instead of doing the shelves, or do you think that would make it too heavy and it would seep through / they would fall over?
Thank you for your wonderful tutorial! I am looking to build something similar to directly hold soil and grow climbing roses in my long and narrow alleyway (without using separate planted bins inside). I wonder if the structure, lined inside, will be strong enough to hold dirt, water and climbing roses. Fence boards are not as thick as regular 2×4. Would soil moisture warp the narrow and tall planter over time? Thank you!
What did you put inside of them to hold the plants? Was there a large trough planter bin inside or did you just put the plants in their existing pots right inside the box?
Made 2 planter boxes, a 4×2 & 2×2. Used 2×3 inch posts and 6 foot pine pickets. Nails, stain. Total cost $78.
Awesome! Way to go. Found a good DIY. Thanks for posting
Youre badass!
Dont use pressure treated lumber if you are making planters for vegetables or herbs, it will leech in the soild very toxic..
You are the answer to all my question…thanks for the videos very helpful
Awesome Planter boxes! Can't beat the price point to make them either! Thanks for the video!
super cute!! i need some like this too! i love the idea but theres so much wood involved! i'd have to make a list before i go to home depot to actually buy all this! then rewatch this video like a thousand times! ; ) definitely worth a shot though!
My wife and I loves your planters.
