Caddy Planter Plans

Building the frame of the caddy

The first step of the project is about building the frame of the caddy planter. Cut the 1×4 components at the right size and lock them together with galvanized screws.

Drill pocket holes at both ends of the side components and insert the 1 1/4″ screws into the perpendicular components. Add waterproof glue to the joints in order to enhance the rigidity of the structure.

Fitting the supports

Next, fit the supports to the top of the frame. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the 1×3 slats and secure them to the frame.

Top Tip: Make sure the corners are right-angled before inserting the 1 1/4″ screws.

Attaching the slats

One of the last steps of the woodworking project is about attaching the slats to the frame of the caddy planter. Cut the slats at the right size and lay them on a level surface.

Top Tip: Drill pilot holes through the supports and insert 1 1/4″ screws into the 1×6 slats. Leave no gaps between the slats if you want to get a professional result. Smooth the exposed edges with sandpaper.

Attaching the caster wheels

In order to move the caddy planter from one location to another, we suggest you to attach caster wheels to the base of the caddy. Secure the caster wheels to the supports with great care, especially if you want to transport heavy items.

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.

Top Tip: If you want to enhance the look of the woodworking project and to protect the bar from decay, we recommend you to cover the components with paint or stain. Place the caddy in a proper location and move it whenever necessary.
