- DIY Modern Outdoor Planter Boxes using Wood Slats:
Step by step build of these outdoor planters using wooden slats to make up 4 panels that slip together to form a modern looking planter box. Great for any outdoor living space. Stained black with a cedar tone top.
Made to fit a specific plastic flower pot, this is a pretty simple woodworking project. It’s a lot of repetitive cutting, sanding and staining. But worth it I think for the pretty stylish results. (Your opinion may vary 😊).
Perfect for a deck, front entry, balcony or in my case a patio.
I suppose you could alter the design for raised planters for container gardening.
The video takes you Step by step through the build.

Great work. Nice design. I wouldn't choose sedum for a patio plant. The bees love them.
Thanks, Sedum only for video filled with wispy grasses now. 😊
That's the cleanest work shop ever , great design as well
Thanks, I appreciate it, much has changed in my workshop since this video, still organized. 😊Thanks for Watching.
Great video. Thank you
😊 👍🏻
I really like these planters and plan to make a couple for my patio seating area. Great idea to use the 2x2 as a marker for the inside!!
Thank you, Good Luck & Thanks for Watching 😊
Great video - that stop that you have on the cross cut sled is really simple and effective.
Thank you 😊
Nice design. Banger.
Thank you 😊
they look very classy. nice job!
Thank you, appreciate the Comment! 😊
Great music selection! 👍
Thank you 😊
Great job. Only thing I would change is add pocket holes to the inside of the top slate and attach the top trim prior to putting in the inside border that will hold the black homedepot planter. This would avoid the nail holes in the nice trim piece. Very minor and really just personal preference. Its a great job.
Thanks so Much.
Great video and design...Looks great !!!! Love the the contrast of the top vs.the black. Any idea how much you spent on material? Thanks again
Thank You! I believe it was roughly $100 for the pressure treated wood. It was still post Covid Pricey. A bit less now here in (Canada) Plus your pots of course. I had the exterior stain already.
Hope this helps. Thanks for Watching!
Nice.
Thank you 😊
This might be a stupid question, but I would like to make one of these to hide a man hole cover, it’s 20”x20” could you help me with what sizes I would need please? And if I’m making it square would all 4 sides not be cut to same size ?
Stand by…
Is the wood stain 3:40 safe for soil and plants? Is it waterproof?
The wood stain is a solid Color Exterior Wood Stain, generally meant for fences etc. Very Durable, essentially waterproof. It’s never in contact with soil/plants. Thanks for Watching! 😊
I like the layout and build but asking why can't short slats be glued/screwed to make one panel then glue/screw the long slats to cover the ends of the short slats. Same outcome but no extra 2x2 inside? Just a question.
They can be done that way…Thanks for Watching
A lot of work and time to build a planter box that only holds one specific pot, hanging by the rim, which could get brittle in the sun and break, instead of supporting it from the bottom, and no room to pull the pot out for any reason, so if you do any additional planting you'll have to move the whole thing over onto the lawn and back if you don't want to spill dirt on the patio.
Wow, that bad eh! Thanks for watching anyway.
What size screws did you use?
If I remember correctly 1 5/8 for the slats, 2 1/2 inch for the frame.
@@DIYFotoWorksthanks!
How wide are the slats
2 5/8”
Thank you, it looks great
Easy if you have a table saw..
Or just by 1 x 2’s or 1 x 3’s…problem solved!
👏👏👏👏👏👍💯🥰
Thanks! 😊 & Thanks for Watching.
Not that easy for beginners
Possibly, can’t please everyone.
I mean... everything is a right-angle cut. It doesn't get any more beginner than this. He uses some specialty jigs for some of the connections, but you don't *NEED* things like that; and/or, you can buy them if you feel it helps, they're not expensive and don't take a lot of room. Instead of finding a weak excuse to try... just try it. This project is completely entry-level.
Did place a saucer underneath? The concrete will get brownstained over time
