As many planters as I’ve built, you’d think I had a green thumb. You’d think. I mean, there was this one, this one, this one, this one, this one, oh, and this one… (planters, not thumbs – I only have two of those.)

Unlike raised beds, our outdoor planters are self-contained units that retain all the materials (e.g., compost, water, fertiliser, plant roots, etc.,) within the planter via a hard bottom panel.

Whatever size you’d like your planter to be, cut each piece to half that length. In other words, if you want a planter that’s 10 inches wide, cut each 2×4 piece 5 inches long.
