Flower Box

Frame

First of all, I have built the frames for the planter box. I used nails and glue to assemble the components together.

Planter-base

I attached the bottom slats inside the frame, as shown in the diagram. I drilled pilot holes and inserted screws to lock the slats into place.

Trims

I used 1×2 slats to build the trims for the planter box. I cut both ends of the components at 45 degrees and locked together with nails and glue.

Planter

Next, I locked the two frames together by fitting 1×1 supports to the four corners of the planter. I inserted nails and added glue to enhance the rigidity of the structure.

Planter-box

Fit the trims to the top of the planter box. Add glue to the joints and insert brad nails to lock everything together tightly.

From Alex

About a few months ago I decided to start woodworking and since then I have used the plans at myoutdoorplans.com It is so rewarding to build furniture and other items at a fraction of the ones sold in stores. I built this basic flower for my backyard. I have adjusted the size of the planter to suit my needs. It was a fun afternoon project and I am sure it will enhance the look of my garden. I stained the planter box to protect it from moisture. I still have to put some finish on the components, but overall I’m happy with how it turned out.
