Easy, Step-by-Step Directions For Making Planter Boxes

Introduction

Welcome to this DIY tutorial on how to make simple planter boxes. The main difference between these and other planter boxes is that you don’t have to add drainage holes, which means they can be used indoors as well as out! I love woodworking and gardening, so when I saw this project on Pinterest, I knew it would be perfect for the patio area at my house. In fact, making these planters was so much fun I decided to write a guide about it.”

You can make wood planter boxes easily and add a stylish touch to your patio or garden area.

The first thing you need to do is buy your lumber. You can purchase wood planks at a hardware store or home improvement store, and it’s easiest if you get the largest size that they have available. Also, make sure that the lumber has been treated (this will help prevent rot) so that your planter box lasts as long as possible.

Once you have all of your materials, it’s time to start building! First lay out three small pieces of 2x4s on top of each other and then screw them together using a drill bit and screws from your toolbox. Next, lay down another large piece of 2x4s horizontally across these bottom three pieces (like an H) so that there are five total pieces altogether: four small ones connected by screws into one large one with holes for drainage at both ends (see pictures).

Conclusion

Planter boxes can add so much beauty to a patio or garden. To make a custom planter box, you need to follow a few simple steps and you will be able to create an amazing piece that looks like it was purchased at an expensive store.
