<\/span><\/h3>\nNext up, you\u2019ll want to start by assembling the two end walls. Line up three of the shorter 2-foot pieces and ensure they are flush and lined up correctly.<\/p>\n
Then take one of your 1\u201d x 2\u201d supports and line it up on its longer side with one of the edges of your end section. Fasten a screw into each one of the planks being careful not to over-tighten and risk splitting the wood.<\/p>\n
If you want a pristine-looking planter, then consider pre-drilling your holes before fastening your screws. If you want a more rustic-looking one, then just be careful not to over-tighten, but you might split the wood a little anyway.<\/p>\n
Repeat the process with the other edge of the shorter wall. Then repeat the entire process until you have both completed end sections.<\/p>\nAssembled end sections.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/span>Step 4: Stand up End Piece <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nStand up one of your end sections the way it will be once assembled. They are stable as long as the ground is basically level.<\/p>\n
Now line up your long wall sections with the edge of your assembled end wall.<\/p>\n
You can actually line up all three segments on top of each other without them falling over. This will give you a good idea of how the final product will look and also allow you to make sure your sections are cut to the right length and aren\u2019t warped.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Step 5: Fasten your Long Walls <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nWith the side walls lines up, carefully fasten each board into the 1\u201dx 2\u201d supports. Make sure your screws actually fasten into the supports and don\u2019t bypass them accidentally. This happened to me on a few of the screws, so I had to go back and re-do them a second time.<\/p>\n
Complete one side, and then replicate the process again on the opposite side. At this point, your planter is nearly completed, and all that\u2019s left to do is fasten the last end section.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Step 6: Fasten the End Section<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nNow, stand up your other end section and line it up with the rest of your boards. Now is a good opportunity to double-check that everything will fit together properly and no adjustments will need to be made.<\/p>\nFastening the final end section.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nDrive your screws through the ends of the boards and into the support sections behind them. Once again, be careful with this part as it\u2019s possible to miss the support and fasten the board into nothing.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Step 7: Create Bottom Section<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nAt this point, you can create a bottom section to create a barrier between your planter and the ground beneath it.<\/p>\n
This will give your planter a physical protective barrier and make them easier to move as well as prevent soil from falling through the bottom of the planter. It will also help with keeping burrowing pests out, as well as weeds and grass from infiltrating your planter box.<\/p>\n
Of course, you don\u2019t have to do this part and can simply leave the planters with open bottoms. If you wanted to use them as a decorative pieces and put potted plants inside them then you can ignore this step.<\/p>\n
There are a few ways to build this part of the planter, with one of the simplest is simply cutting a section of wire mesh to match the size of your planter’s bottom, and then fastening it to the bottom of your planter with a few small nails or screws.<\/p>\n
And that’s about it! Now, all you have to do is fill up your planter boxes with some plants and enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
