Easy Build DIY Planter Box

[claudettemosier]

Ana, these are exactly what I want! I’m 76 years old and always wanted to try woodworking. Everyone laughed at me and I gave it up. Till now. I’m going to do this and they can just keep laughing. I’ll send a picture!

Great and easy build. I built 6 today and wife wants 6 more. We are in Eagle River AK. My wife is planting 12 dahlias in 5 gallon buckets. I made one exactly to plan. Then my wife asked if I could use cedar for the trim on top. Looks really good and we are leaving natural. We are setting these around the inside of the chain link fence to hopefully keep the moose out of them. I used construction adhesive instead of glue as that is what I had. Your $20 price estimate was right on for me. I was showing my wife the tapered planter when she saw the picture of these and said “that is what I want”. I did use my Ryobi narrow crown staple for attaching the cedar. Again great plans. Thanks much.

I have been watching you for years way before you built your house. Back when you made the tiny homes on wheels. You always do great things. I did make two chase lounge’s for my pool deck and here we are 2 maybe 3 years latter and we are still enjoying them in this humid state. Thanks for the plans and material list.

Thanks for this amazing video. This got me started on my first ever wood project and it was successful, with friends asking if I could build them one too. Trust me its not going to stop here. Thanks Ana.

I just started watching this video and planned to start building. I have to mention I have really bad anxiety so I finally found I project that I will start building with wood and maybe this will be my happy place in life. I’m on social security so it’s hard to buy things all together but I’ll gradually get there. Your channel inspired me thank you so much. You have me as a follower. Godbless and any donations of would or tools is greatly appreciated godbless

Get job, Ana. How creative you are, young lady. Helped start a garden at a local Greek restaurant, that has been added to by so many others. Hope to make these great little planters for the front door of the eatery. You are making retirement fun again. Thank you!

Thank You Ana! My husband made 4 of these and I put dwarf orange and lemons in them. They are adorable. Thank You for all of your hard work!

Ana, great instructional video and even better making the plans available. My wife asked me to make a couple of planter boxes, came across yours and the job was done in a weekend. I also used your plan to make a shorter rectangular shaped planter box...happy wife! Started with just a miter saw so it gave me an excuse to purchase a brad nailer. Now my wife is looking through your other project videos...hoping it means more new tools 😄.

Love the way you break things down on your projects. Thank you Ana for sharing with us and a good afternoon from Deep East Texas!!!

I just finished making one of these a couple of weekends ago. I used wood from a pallet. I ripped some of the boards down to make the 1x2's and 1x3's. I used four full width boards for the sides since the pallet boards are narrower than fence pieces. My trim pieces on top were a tad off, but with practice will get better. Thanks for doing you!

Wow thank you for creating this. Finally a super simple method. I only have a circular saw. And no Brad gun so I will need to use screws I guess. I want to use a plastic bin to hold the dirt inside, because I have to be able to move these easily on and off a deck. Thank you again!

These are so cute and make me think of mini Christmas trees with lights inside the planters. They'd be gorgeous for the holidays.

I finally built mine from scrap wood, used the same method but built it bit bigger for my plant and it looks amazing even with scrap wood, yay!

I made your Tapered planter boxes today. The one that I might come out incredible. Definitely gonna build more of those plus the ones in this video. Thank you so much for sharing

This one looks like a great little project—thanks Ana!

[maxpower]

The glue is very important! Great job Ana. You are creative

[freedomofreligion]

You are an angel and a doll, Ana. Two of my highest endearments, thanks much!!

I just built two of the 5 degree angle ones on your site out of pallets. Two 36" planters for $6! Walmart wants $25 for a one foot high one.
