How to build a corner planter box

Building-the-side-panels

The first step of the project is to build the panels for the sides of the corner planter. Use 1×4 slats for the panels and 1×2 lumber for the cleats. Add glue to the joints and leave no gaps between the components. Align the edges flush and make sure the corners are square. Insert 1 1/4″ nails to secure the cleats to the panels tightly.

Building-the-sides

After the glue dries out, you need to drill pocket holes along the sides of the panel. Attach the legs to the side panels and align everything with attention. Add glue to the joints and insert 2 1/2″ screws.

Building the back panels

The next step of the project is to build the back panels for the corner planter box. As you can see in the plans, you need to make this panels wider. Use the same techniques described above to assemble the panels together (glue and 1 1/4″ nails).

Fitting the back panels

Drill pocket holes along the sides of the panels and then secure them to the posts with 2 1/2″ screws. Make sure the edges are flush and add glue to the joints.

Building the front panels

Build the front panels for the corner planter box, so you can assemble the frame.

Front panels

Drill pocket holes along the sides of the panels and then secure them into place with 2 1/2″ screws.

Fitting the cleats

Fit the 1×2 cleats to the bottom of the corner planter box. Cut the cleats at the right dimensions and then secure them into place with 1 1/4″ screws. Align the edges flush and make sure you lock the cleats into place tightly. You can adjust the height at which you place the cleats, according to the containers you are going to fit inside.

Fitting the bottom slats

Fit the 1×4 slats to the bottom of the planter box. Cut the slats at the right dimensions and then secure them to the cleats with 1 1/4″ screws. Drill pilot holes before inserting the screws to prevent the wood from splitting.

Fitting-the-top-tris

Use 1×2 lumber for the trims. Make 45 degree cuts to the trims, as shown in the diagram. Fit the trims to the planter box and then secure them into place with 1 1/4″ screws. Align the edges flush and add glue to the joints.

One of the last steps of the woodworking project is to take care of the finishing touches. Therefore, fill the pilot holes with wood putty and smooth the surface with 120-grit sandpaper. In order to protect the lumber from water damage, I recommend you to cover the components with several coats of paint. This corner planter would be ideal on a patio or even on a deck.
