Steps to Build Your Custom Planter Box

Step 1: Plan and Measure

• Determine Size and Design: Decide on the size and design of your planter box. Common dimensions are 4 feet long, 2 feet wide, and 2 feet high, but you can customize it to fit your space.
• Measure and Mark: Use the measuring tape to measure and mark the wood pieces according to your plan.

Step 2: Cut the Wood

• Cut Lumber: Cut the 2x4 lumber for the frame and the plywood sheets or cedar planks for the sides of the planter box. Ensure all pieces are cut to the correct dimensions.

Step 3: Assemble the Frame

• Apply Wood Glue: Apply wood glue to the edges of the 2x4 lumber pieces.
• Drill and Secure: Using the DeWalt Drill Driver, drill pilot holes and secure the pieces together with wood screws to form the frame of the planter box.

Step 4: Attach the Sides

• Attach Plywood or Cedar Planks: Align the plywood sheets or cedar planks with the frame and attach them using wood screws. Make sure to secure all sides firmly.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

• Smooth Edges: Use sandpaper to smooth any rough edges.
• Optional Finishes: You can paint or stain the planter box to match your garden decor. Allow it to dry completely before use.
• Install Landscaping Fabric: Line the inside of the planter box with landscaping fabric to help retain soil and moisture.
