Board and Batten Planter Bench
From Dan,
Used your plans to create the planter bench my wife wanted. I did a board and batten type finish and substituted pressure treated fence panels instead of 1 x 6 PT boards and some of the 1 x 4’s. Simply ripped them on the table saw. About the same material but far less costly ($1.25 per board vs $4.97 per board). Also used some old cedar 1 x4’s for the base and not plywood. I also had 2 2 x4 left over and lots of wasted 2×4 material. I am not sure where I went wrong. As someone else suggested do your own measurements and create your own cut list per board. My cost was about $130 as I had to buy the screws and went with high end brand.

Thank you for sharing this great project with me and the rest of the diy-ers. I like the board and batten design and I appreciate the feedback regarding the plans and your experience during the build.
