Build-It-Yourself: Wood Patio Planter

Our planter box (above) didn't come out quite as nice as we had hoped but next time we'll be sure to follow these great instructions from Danny Lipford for building a patio planter.

He recommends pressure treated pine and if you've got the right tools you could finish this project in an afternoon.

Its a great idea! Half cut wine barrels are $30-$40 here in SoCal. My work has tons of wooden pallets sitting around. I can build up a few of these in an afternoon for FREE. Would be excellent for growing potatoes if built deep enough. With the right sizes I might even build one big enough to handle a dwarf apple tree. Lots to think about. I have not had the time to come up with ideas like this that save money. Thanks.

Great idea regarding the wine barrels. I've also had luck finding pallets for free via Craigslist but if you've gottem at work then you should be set. I imagine you can get even more imaginative with these than Danny's plans suggest. Adding a little paint would also do wonders. Send us some pics if you do end up building some.

I will send in some pics when finished. I just took down my old wash house recently and have a big stack of junk wood now I was going to slowly start throwing out. Now I can reuse all that wood to make these wood planters, plus they will look and remind me of our old wash house!
