Because all the screwing is done from the inside out, I needed to make a small frame and wedge it into the gap between the two long sides of the planter. Looking a bit like the Roman numeral for “2”, the two 180 mm battens made up the horizontal pieces and the 224 mm pieces were the verticals. As a finishing touch, you will need the spade drill bit to create drainage holes in the bottom. Drainage holes are very important for keeping your plants alive and healthy. Make sure to create at least 3 holes. I used four screws for each board- two 50 mm through the long side of the batten, and two 40 mm through the short side of the batten. Leaving the glue to cure for a bit, I helped myself to another cup of tea. We have put our heart and soul into bringing the best custom made outdoor planter designs before you, to give your home a modern look when you and your guests venture outside. If you wanted a less architectural look and a more natural effect, try wild flowers. There are many companies that supply wild flower mix, and you could also buy wild flower turf which helps to attract a whole plethora of bees, butterflies and the like.

Remembering to stagger the boards on the first course, I repeated this step for the other four corners. It got easier to keep things square, but as the box shape came together there was less room to get the drill driver in there. To take the measurements, grab your measuring tape, L-square and pencil. Start by measuring out a 120cm section. Make a mark with your pencil and use the L-square to draw a straight line to cut along later.

One of the problems I’d had with making planters in the past was adding in enough drainage. Even after drilling a whole bunch of holes in my first batch of planters, they still got clogged up. I decided this time around to make sure that this planter was as free-draining as possible.

The best place to start the assembly process is by attaching a 120cm side to the bottom. Before you start drilling holes and placing glue, make sure to leave an indent equal to the width of the planks on both sides where the short 30cm sides need to go. You can do this by using a short side and a pencil to make a mark on the 120cm side. Do this on both 120cm sides to get a good idea of where the bottom should be attached. Giving the planter sturdy legs raises it up off the floor to keep it out of any standing water. It also means I can position it on an uneven floor and still be able to level it by adjusting the feet. Other popular options include pressure-treated wood, which is affordable and strong, but does require some maintenance. Once you have all your supplies and tools ready, it is time to begin building. Here’s how to do it: Step 1: Take measurements All planters are also designed to be used together to form unique displays for your flowers and plants the combinations are limitless!

It means you can gang up your work and you’re not cutting then fixing, then cutting again. As a team of master carpenter & joiners we always emphasise the finish of our products and care about our customers satisfaction as it means a great deal to us. I divided the 180 mm pieces in half, then half again to even space out the fixings. Marking 45 mm from each end made sure they were equal. I glued then screwed the two bits of 224 mm batten on, making sure they looked right with my speed square. Adding the other bit of 180 mm batten made a little frame.
