Waterproofing a Planter

In this video I will show you how to Waterproof a Planter. You are going to need an indoor outdoor caulking and some flex seal. the color of the caulking and flex seal does not matter cause once you put soil in the planters you will not see then anyways.

thank you i built some planter boxes for indoor gardening and have been trying to figure the seal so i can add rocks to drain thank you!

I have waterproofed my light weight rectangular planter 3' x 9" with decking oil ( you can give one or two coats) then I just lined it later in the week with heavy polyurethane sheet, (stapled in) followed by placing a few holes in for drainage. The oil has done the job very well, as it has just soaked right through the wood and has prevented rot.

Glue, flex caulk. Worth every penny

I have an old cedar cradle I'm going to turn into a planter. I plan on using this method but wondered (like a previous commenter) if I should drill some drainage holes at the bottom.

Don’t you need drainage holes or plants will become water logged in wet weather. It looks great. 👍

Love this! This is my next project. I was looking up Rubberizeit! and other products, but this is a lot better. Glad to know it is not going to kill my plants as well. Thank you for sharing.

You actually wouldn't want a sealed planter box... you need drainage holes. The soul needs to be wet but you dont want sitting water.turns soil to mud. Plus avoids mold.

Im not used.to wood working and don't have the same tools but it's cool to teach those burly man to make a prefect gift for their wife's. I tell you out succulents in and make her happy.

We took this planter box and turned into a boat...(FlexSeal ad)

[sarafernandez]

Can Both of those products be used if I have already applied wood stain?

[BlueAlchemist]

Posed by someone else but.. Is it food safe? Would be very nice to use for a wooden herb or veggie planter.

[petiewhite]

great video! totally forgot about flex seal.

[packingbloodyheat]

Will this work for plants? I have been told to use liquid rubber. If so, why was it necessary to coat the bottom? If the top is already sealed... 🤔

[brandsthatcreatelitter]

Is flex seal food safe? I’m gonna be growing herbs, so anything with toxic chemicals is not a great solution.

[sammyg]

Do we do anything to the part where the pieces screw together?

[theproteaneffect]

Wait, so there SHOULDN’T be any holes in the bottom of a flower bed for “draining”??

[AngiesDoingIt]

So planters don't need drainage holes? Curious. I have a brown thumb, no pun intended.

[soonliong]

May I know is it safe for use in wooden fish tub? Many thanks.

How to waterproof... proceeds to use Titebond Original which isn’t waterproof glue... Titebond III is.
