When done, place the box upside down. This will make it easier to line up the short sides. Make sure the surface you’re working on is level. Next, insert the short side into the gap that’s left. Line it up nicely with the other two sides that are already attached and screw them in place. 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. 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. Our planters have many uses not just as containers or troughs for plants but are also great in the following applications

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 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. 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.

They’re a powerful strand of color that draws lines, creates groups, curves and circles, highlights layers and steps, but most of all gives the Perch Hill garden crucial dollops of full-on painterly color.’ Rather than laying each board directly on top of each other, I staggered them around the edge of the planter. We also make a ngled versions of these, perfect for either side of patio door openings or 90 degree corner areas. We can provide a quote if you would like these in longer lengths than we have availiable on the store .

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. 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. Once done, layout your box to make it easier to assemble. Start by placing the odd length plank on the ground or table. Arrange the other sides around it so that the long pieces line up with the long sides of the bottom and the short piece with the short sides. Step 3: Assemble the planter For smaller pots I love pelargoniums,’ Sarah adds. ‘Most flower without cease, with little water and almost no dead-heading. My top all-round favourite variety is the scented-leaved Attar of Roses, but this soft pink flowered pelargonium couldn’t be claimed to be a full-on color merchant. For bold and brilliant color you want Pink Capitatum (syn. P. caprifolium), P. Clorinda, or Lara Starshine, all three bright, breezy, easy to look after and always flowery.’This does three things: It adds strength at the corners because there’s more surface area for the glue, it exposes less end-grain to the elements, and I think it looks pretty good too. These instructions are for a planter 120cm long, 30cm high and 30cm wide. You’ll need to measure out two sides that are 120cm long, two that are 30cm long and an odd one out that we’ll explain later. 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. I then squeezed more glue along two sides of the batten and pushed it snugly into the corner. The square batten helped to keep things at a proper right angle, and the clamp across the short end made sure it was secure.
