Hi Laura! I have been watching you now for years and am so impressed at how relaxed and professional you have gotten! That said, this is STILL one of my favorite videos! I’m actually going to be trying to build this in the next month. If you see this comment, wish me luck! Also, if you ever do an update on this design, I’m sure it will go viral! :)
I love that you are so much more formal when you started, and I came in at 5 years it looks like, and you can tell how much more comfortable you've gotten at doing your videos! It's great to see the wonderful transformation, and you are such an inspiration for me to try new plants in my small garden! Thank you!
I haven’t seen a wood buy list posted, so I thought I’d share. I just built this today, though made some very minor adjustments to the top and feet. Absolutely love it! 8 - 1” x 6” x 6’ cedar pickets 6 - 2” x 4” x 8’ pressure treated 2 - 4” x 4” x 8' pressure treated 2 - 1” x 4” x 8’ pressure treated 1 - 4’ x 8’ lattice Hope this helps! Please keep in mind that if you use the directions from the link, the 2x1 is incorrect. She uses 2x4’s for the sides.
Laura you’re so beautiful, strong and knowledgeable..I get so inspired watching your videos! Just found you on YT recently and I’ve been enjoying starting from the beginning. Congrats on the baby!!!! 🎊
Laura, with this video I found you 3 years ago and you amazed me with your talent👏 I didn't have a clue of youtube and since then I look forward every single day for your videos🙂 I just love everything you do, thank you for sharing your talent with us❤🙋🏻♀️Greetings from southern California
Glad to see someone getting the mitresaw running with full speed then cutting. Too many pro carpenters just do the cut as long as they pull the trigger, which damages the saw belt or motor due to the blade biting.
Just finished this project. A couple tips: if you use the link provided for your plans, as I did, it has the sides listed as 2x1's. Do NOT use 2x1's! They will not match up correctly. Not sure why the plans say that, as she is using 2x4's in the video, and that is what you should use. Also, there is simply no way she attached the sides, then the back, then the front. Do the back first, laid down, then the sides, then the front. Again, in the video, she is clearly doing the back first. If you're getting your wood at Home Depot or lowes, there usually isn't an oak screen trim, so I wouldn't bother looking for it. Pine or cedar are usually the only options in that size. I used pine and it works great.
Also! I didn't buy dimensional lumber for the plankings like she did. I used pallet wood. Instead of it being a solid plank all the way across the front, it was two rows of planks, butted up against each other and screwed down at the sides and the center post. This way may take a bit more creativity to get things (mostly) flush, but since you're lining it anyways, it'll work fine. I think I used four or five pallets.
I found this video tonight from your Highlights channel - and love it. Not only do I want to build this project, but I love seeing how much you've grown in the last 6 years. You are truly wonderful and I pray God's richest blessings upon your family and household. I also loved the metal containers you placed out in the new area near the tomatoes for Benjamin to find his strawberries in today's video. I am so grateful I found your channel ... maybe 2 1/2 years ago, thereabouts. /wave
Omg. The shakey camera reminded me it's not just Laura who improved and became more confident with garden answers!!!! You guys are amazing. Best youtube couple!!! ...😍
Dear . I am in new in gardening. Just intiated gardening by planting mint , penzi, salad leaves & tomatoes. Then I searched that if there is any good guidance or expert around. I take you as my mentor now, you are away , I don't know where you are from or from which country, but I can feel that you are around. I am under your coaching so thank you for making us good Gardner. I loved your love to nature & soil. Great inspiration for me. Thank you & love, ❤
I just wanted to let you know that my son and I just built this today. It took us 4.5 hours to build. It looks awesome! We made it 6 feet wide instead of 4 feet Thank you very much for the inspiration. Peter
Peter Tait Hi Peter! That's great-I'm go glad to hear it! I like the idea of making it wider- that would make an even better screen. I'll say one thing...it took me for than 4.5 hours to build mine! Ha! Well done! ~Laura
I love this! When I follow the link to the plans for this project, every time I click on them they disappear.... is there another way to see/get the plans?
It came out great!! Maybe you should try to put the lining inside the box first and the screw down the top bezel of the planter, I think it might hold it down better and give you a more flush install.
Beautiful planter! Great job! I especially like seeing the finished project IN THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO!! So often I lose patience with DIY projects that go through cutting and assembly and only show the finished project at the end of the video. I want to see if it's worth it before possibly wasting my time. This one works for me. :) Thank you
I didn't know Laura did this type of thing. I was already impressed with her abilities, but woodwork too?! Amazing and looks very professional. Has she been trained in this?
I know I've already watched this video but it's so good! The planter is so beautiful. I really admire how you didn't see what you wanted out there so you built it! Great work!
I like that your assembly idea didn't use pocket holes (at which point, you must mention that you made the pocket holes using a Kreg jig, of course). Thanks for the video!
Wow, I have been scouring the web to purchase one of these but I am betting building one would save me a ton of money. Thanks for creating this tutorial. Gorgeous design!
+Melissa Kern Thanks for the comment! This video was actually the product of searching and searching for something like this and not really finding anything close, so I gave it a shot myself! Let me know how it goes if you decide to go for it! :) ~Laura
Wow. Great planter and fantastic videography. I need to build on against the fence , but it is a little sloped for runoff. I guess just adjust the feet to account for the slope? Back feet higher than front feet.
Great build! Would you please be so kind as to post the plans if they are still available? I really want to try my hands at making! Thanks so much. All the Best!
What a great idea! I just bought my first house and have a great breezeway so was looking for ideas, and found your video. I love it so much! New subscriber! Thanks for sharing!
The box looks fantastic and your videos rock! Just wanted to give your subscribers a heads up... If you plan on planting fruits and veggies in this box be careful not to use the chemically treated wood. They say the newer treatments are safer, but stay skeptical of any processes like that, where chemicals can leach into your garden. Look for the small slits and unnatural color on the wood. If it has that then it's chemically treated. Great work on the box, though!
Im going to use this but add thinner 1x3 moldings for front to add a little depth and visual appeal. And prob make the top boards overhang a bit as well. may use vinyl lattice too(if cheaper) as im going to paint whole thing white.And Im going to make two.On each side of and existing archwayOtherwise I love the design.Thx for the inspiration
Hi Laura, I tried clicking on your link for the plans but the link is no longer active. Says Aaron has put them in his trash! LOL Wondering if you have them still and could update the link.
Hi Laura. Do you still have the plans for this trellis planter? the link in the description doesn't seem to work any more. Is it possible to add a new link for it? Love all your videos. Thanks for all you do!
Really nice planter, good tutorial and great video shooting. Nice work! You could perhaps have saved on a bit of compost by filling the bottom 8" or so with old plant pots, plastic bottles etc. It also helps with drainage and makes it a little lighter if you ever need to move it
I feel like a stalker watching you so much, but you are so very helpful with awesome ideas to help my Brown thumb and coordination of color combinations! you keep rockn'
This is just about the prettiest planter/trellis I've ever seen!! Nice design! Laura + Aaron: Your link to these plans has, of course, expired as this video is 9 yrs ago. Do you happen to have those plans in your file, handy?? Thx so much.
We are thinking of building this. Tried clicking on the link for plans of the project, unfortunately, its saying they are trashed. If you dont mind, can you please reupload them?
for this same plan...what would be the cut list for a 5 ft planter? how wide is the planter from the front to the back of the planter? yall did a beautiful job building this trellis 🌟
this is great... does it matter if I wanted to make a longer one, like I would just extend the length of the boards, and no other changes? Also, I wonder about staining the lattice- perhaps something like a plastic gutter thing, putting some stain in their and staining the lattice pieces by dipping them in before they are all nailed together? cause I agree, staining after would be a pain.
Will this be able to handle the pressure of wind if it’s free standing and not against a wall? Wanting to build a couple as a natural privacy boarder of sorts for our patio
I’ve been watching your guidance for about 3 years now and I just found this old one. You have come a long way! How has the planter held up? I haven’t seen it in any recent videos?
Manuel Mendoza fiddlehead flowers and hyssop for purple. if you're an early riser, flax for a blue. The flax has an added bonus in that you can cut it up in the fall and mulch the bed or engage in old fashioned textile work. Zinnias are easy as pie and were used by the aztecs for dye, even better they come in giant or dwarf sizes. Alliums, specifically garlic, are very useful in fact not just the bulbs but the greens and scapes can also be used in cooking. they also repel bugs.
Thank you for the information, the climate here is very wet at the moment..rain and more rain. I will visit my local nursery and have a look when the weather gets better, I need plants that will look after themselves and keep appearing without the need to be replaced every year.
I just picked up some 15 year old cedar dog ear pickets that were taken down and stored in the garage rafters till now. I paid $25 for 25 of them and I think I'm going to make this trellis planter! What kind of 2x4's did you use? I just have never seen any that look that the ones you used. I can't wait to make this!
What a beautiful planter. I would NOT use plastics to fill in the bottom, especially for growing veggies, as some plastics leach out chemicals. Use natural elements.
Hi Laura I just found your channel this evening and I tried to follow your link to get to the project plans but it says its not found? Have you moved it? Your planter turned out so pretty.
Oh my goodness, just came across this video you made 9 years ago, I can't believe how time flies!❤🤗❤️ great job Laura and Aaron!
Laura, it's 2023 and I'm just seeing this -- you, nine years ago!! You are a natural, woman!
Beautiful! Can you upload the plans again or post a new link to them?
Hi Laura! I have been watching you now for years and am so impressed at how relaxed and professional you have gotten! That said, this is STILL one of my favorite videos!

Wooooooooooowwwww...huge difference in your demeanor from the year you started up until now (2019). You definitely made a change for the better 👍🏼
I think she just feels natural now!!!
I haven’t seen a wood buy list posted, so I thought I’d share. I just built this today, though made some very minor adjustments to the top and feet. Absolutely love it!
8 - 1” x 6” x 6’ cedar pickets
6 - 2” x 4” x 8’ pressure treated
2 - 4” x 4” x 8' pressure treated

You are so artistic and creative I salute you friend....God bless your Chanel...
Dang I’m wondering how I can find the plans for this the link is no longer available for it
your my hero, your helping me get started with my garden.
Aaron can you restore the plans for this project please? Thank You
It's been seven months...guess it's not happening :/
The link works. It’s a google doc, you need to sign in with your account and then click the link again.
@@Theclassics21 how do you do that to get the plans? Thanks in advance.
@@swissmiss221 you need to create a google account then when the account is open, click on the link in the description of this video.
Hey there. The link for the plans seems to be broken. Could you add it back please??? Thanks! This is beautiful!!
You give great ideas for your viewer's. Thank you 😊 😊

I didn't know Laura did this type of thing. I was already impressed with her abilities, but woodwork too?! Amazing and looks very professional. Has she been trained in this?
Love it.. it can be modified as a potting center and the trellis a tool holder! Keep the projects coming 8)
I know I've already watched this video but it's so good! The planter is so beautiful. I really admire how you didn't see what you wanted out there so you built it! Great work!
Looks awesome. Going to try this for my patio.
I like that your assembly idea didn't use pocket holes (at which point, you must mention that you made the pocket holes using a Kreg jig, of course).
Thanks for the video!
i am from India and today just go through your garden answer and found it very nice and innovative, keep this good work continue .

What an extension of amazing talents you have there young lady. This is just stunning

Great build! Would you please be so kind as to post the plans if they are still available? I really want to try my hands at making! Thanks so much. All the Best!

how about putting pond foil as a barrier.

Would love to plans for this project please! Can you upload them again??
You look like a model, Laura! So beautiful.

Wow! its almost 6 years and still watching your videos.
You've come a LONG way, baby girl! How do you feel about Miracle Grow, now? That's what is available here in SE Texas.
Hi! Great work. Would that stain be safe for growing foods? Also what was the wood used for primary framing construction. Thanks! Great content.
Very Impressive design & work.
incredible work
great work... I like and will attempt to build one for my wife.

creative girl i love all your videos..always giving me an idea..
wow, looks awesome~if using composite materials it will be more easier and saving time, such as without painting at all
Yeah it would last but be super expensive
this is great... does it matter if I wanted to make a longer one, like I would just extend the length of the boards, and no other changes? Also, I wonder about staining the lattice- perhaps something like a plastic gutter thing, putting some stain in their and staining the lattice pieces by dipping them in before they are all nailed together? cause I agree, staining after would be a pain.

if u put ivy boston that would be great رائع استمري اختي 👍👍👍
Need to make one as a privacy fence
Are the plans still available? The link isn't working for me this morning. Would love to try this project.
Where can we get the plans for this planter?
Hi! I know that this is an old video, but do you happen to still have the plans by chance?
So after you put plants inside a planter, you don't need to fill in the gaps with dirt?? They just intertwine with each other??
PLEASE make the plans available again!!!
Really impressive stuff, inspired me to give something like this a try!
C'mon Aaron, please as Bryan Rehmert says, restore the plans. Lockdown down AGAIN in the UK and would love to build this.
This is the perfect design for my project. Is there a way to restore the plans - apparently they are in the trash :)
no comment juste ammmaazing wow
Nice. I wish you would have had one shot back away from the planter so we could see how it blends in or stands out, etc... :-( but I like the planter.
So beautiful i from Indonesian
I love it. ❤️ Thx for all the grrrrrr8 ideas.
What a beautiful planter. I would NOT use plastics to fill in the bottom, especially for growing veggies, as some plastics leach out chemicals. Use natural elements.
