I came across your video while looking for a planter box to build at my wife's request. This one checks all the boxes. Beautiful job and very functional.

This raised planter is really nice. Especially if you grow plants in Thailand where the sun is really strong!!

Thanks! My mom loved the box for Mother's Day!

This has to be the best planter box on the internet. I like the look of the wood coupled with the functionality of the drain so your plants don't drown. Thanks for the upload!

I just built one of these with my girlfriend. She’s been planting so much, I modified the dimensions to make it bigger and since it’s going on our balcony with minimal drainage, I added a bucket/tray holder for the water to drain into and not get all over our floor.

My mom was just talking about needing a planter to grow her bell peppers and this is perfect. Plus free plans! Today can’t get any better!

I made a smaller version of this for my wife... she showed her friends and now i have at least 15 orders of this planter box. A little extra money never hurts. 👍👍👍

Totally agree with your système for the water drainage and the plastic side covering.

Good and inspiring ideas for raised planter with built in drainage

[FigmentsMade]

Now that's a nice planter! You're right. That spar urethane really warms up the cedar.

Brad Brad the family man. Love it bro...and creating something that both you and your kids can spend time with is absolutely the best life can give you. Gave me a good smile at the end. Happy father's day and great project.

Love the drainage concept. Are there any issues with using the plastic lining causing moisture buildup that will harm the herbs? I know some will drain, but there will not be any air circulation.

bought the plans, am nearly finished, but also adding a side handle, couple of wheels and a place to store a few garden tools. great project. great plans. keep up the good videos.

Ever think about creating a planter box with plexiglass sides and then a removable wood panel siding on all 4 sides? By removing a wood panel siding then you could see the growth of the plant through the plexiglass. I don’t know if it’s possible, it’s just an idea I just wonder if you would ever do a project like that.

I built my planter box and love it. I used pine wood instead of cedar but it looks great! Thanks for the plans!
