Nice looking! I made some last year but made them so they would support removable plastic planter box trays. This way flowers could be brought in during cold weather, they're easier to clean out and when they crack they just get replaced without wrecking or staining the wood boxes I built.
for the weep holes, I'd get some galvanized wire, fold in half, make a loop "anchor", with about 2 inches bent perpendicular to the loop. Drop the straight end thru the weep hole so you can bend the wire away from the siding. This will give water a lateral push away from the siding so the siding doesn't get stained from the soil drainage.
Hey there! I just wanted to say that I found the video to be really helpful and interesting. It was able to keep my attention throughout and I feel like I actually learned something valuable from it. Thanks a lot for sharing!
Beautiful!! And such a simple and really timeless design! I’ve recently become quite a fan of pvc trim. It has been surprisingly easy to work with and takes paint much better than I expected it to! Perfect for outdoor use! And those plants, whew, soooo pretty 😊
I like to add PVC pipe the the bottom with holes drilled in it with a stand pipe and rope filling the holes. The drip system or a watering can can just fill the pipe and the water slowly releases into the soil as needed. Nice simple and inexpensive self watering system.
Very nice. I'm thinking of doing a window box to cover the changes in size of a bathroom window. I want to install shower and want to make the window there shorter so it doesn't come down as low, but I want to cover up the change and thought a window box might look cool so there will still be something to match the height of the adjacent window on the bottom. I know I will need to install house wrap, but do I need siding over the house wrap if the box covers the house wrap?
it looks like you're using the PVC Trimwelder 50ml Fast Cure by Extreme Adhesives. can you recommend an alternative as I am having difficulty locating this product? - sold out at Home Depot. the glue that you are linking in the description is for pipe fitting applications not structural projects such as this one.
Curious how wide to make? I know the length is determined by the window size but what about the width? I know it's likely personal preference but wondering what most poeple do?
Funny how Jenn tactfully was like "yes, the box is going to be full", so funny when you see plantings and they're all 6 inches apart and never grow together, looks so artificial.. Jenn's design mimics nature and the slight randomness of things and is more attractive
The key is attaching them to the studs. The siding should give you a hint, since the ends are always attached to a stud. I have found studs under windows are not always 16" o.c.
100% disagree with adding those rocks at the bottom. Rocks can really mess up your drainage. But more importantly she’s robbing those plants of space for their roots and she’s going to pack those plants in there.
no, he is NOT using plumbing glue he is using PVC TrimWelder 50 ml Fast Cure - i can tell by the applicator gun @1:33 (it's blue and gray only partially visible) and he even says it's a 2-part adhesive @1:30 in the video
@@toddjasper1 i am having trouble locating it in that 50ml size, which fits in a caulking gun adapter that they sell separately or in a kit. this saves you from buying an applicator gun. doesn't appear to be a lot of alternatives, either. / =
Yes, the boxes are great but they look just a bit off, being even with the size of the window. Definitely should have gone a few inches past the frame.
Once again an overcrowded planter. In two months everything will be leggy or die. The trick is to water with 20-20-20 half dose every time you water. But it won’t solve the ridiculous overcrowding. Duh.
This guy has great social skills!!! Never misses an opportunity to compliment.
He probably was a pickup artist before he got married.

also the band molding you are linking is primed MDF, not PVC
How wide are the boxes?

Love the tag team job.
Great job
Looks great.

Is it possible to install flower boxes on to faux stone siding?
🙋♀️ Question! Can the window boxes be made a bit wider than the windows?

1x10 pvc stock? I've not seen that in Sacramento. What glue also?
Not PVC glue from the plumbing aisle-see comment below for better answer

I would have extended the boxes 4 to 6" beyond the windows on each side to richen it up.

Maybe you should be on the show instead of this guy.
GASP! he's got gray!
Always have a crush on her lol
He should have replaced his window trim that looked rotten
The homeowner is so chill, I think he is on shrooms!
Lol
That could be why he didn’t do much lol
3:11 lol
@@ImALefty08 LMAO you know it lol lol perfect timing lol lol lol
Would have been better if the boxes were tapered at the bottom.
I love the design, but a big ecological negative, PVC stock, all the micro plastics now released into the environment.
It prevents them from rotting and having to be made again. It's the perfect material for this wet application.
Ugh, English ivy should be illegal
Too many plants in each planters. 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag!
Yeah and no garden gnome on the ground beneath the planter to tie it all together? What kind of scam is this?

Not good when your landscaper has to ask what direction a house is facing. I get these are scripted, but that was a bit ridiculous to me.
