Picket Planter! #MakeMoneyWoodworking #FreePlans #ProjectsThatSell
We have planted many different varieties in these boxes and they are doing great. I do not use a liner; cedar is naturally weather sealed and will not rot, warp, decay or mold. I also did not seal the boxes with any sort of clear coat or paint. Overtime, cedar will turn from its pretty redish brown to grey when exposed to sunlight for a prolonged period of time.
These are a great foot-in-the-door project for anybody who is looking to begin selling their woodworking projects, or simply taking their woodworking hobby to the next level. Before these planter boxes, I only made furniture and built things for myself, and family (where I only charged them for the materials). These boxes not only helped me to make my first dollar by woodworking, but when posting this video, I have made $2408 profit; and yes, thats factoring in my total materials cost, from buyers in a small town of 3000 people.
Two tips not mentioned in the video:
1) do not take large orders or custom orders without obtaining a deposit. Luckily I had only one person order a taller 25x16x16 box and stop responding to me, his name is Ron Whitaker... Unfortunately I did not take deposits or payment in advance, but these are also not expensive to build.
2) you can use treated boards, cedar is less than a dollar more and better for the plants, unless you use a liner and are going to paint the exterior.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE like this video so it can be suggested to other cool cats like yourselves. Bye for now!!

Love the long planter boxes, made one over the weekend and already sold anyone. Thank you for your videos and plans. I was wondering why the addition of some screws in the long planter ends when you didn’t use any for The other planter boxes

[@toughleather9242]

I can't access the image. Other videos I have no problem.

[@billoeffinger367]

Your picture of the cut list does not match how you cut in video. Sides are shown at 45" on list, but you cut them 44" in video.

[@MsSassySean]

I know nothing...but I want two of these. I don't want to bend over to garden. Can the box be made 3 feet tall and remain stable??? I made it to the end of the video. Thank you very much for sharing.

Your easy going, friendly style reminds me of my grandfather.. he was an amazing cabinet builder by trade, but also anything else builder for fun.. he built our grandmother a whole new kitchen, made my sister and I captains beds, and a life size playhouse full of cabinets, furniture, windows and a Dutch door. I got mad respect for wood workers of all kinds. Your boxes are fab.. might need to see about getting someone to make me some. I love that they are lifted as well.

I bet it'll turn out lookin good!

[@lizd7206]

Thank you so much! I made 2 already and will be making more! I made them taller and wider and was even able to do the 45 degree cuts. That's huge for me. Your explanation referenced "little triangles" and all of a sudden it made sense. Now maybe the vegetables will love the pretty home they'll have and grow for me.😅

[@chrishad95]

If you have kids that are addicted to Prime energy drinks like my kid, you can also use the empty Prime bottles as vacuum adapters and couplers. They shrink up nice with a heat gun, and I feel like they have smoother design.

[@WhosTheVoss]

Never heard of "Prime". Ill have to pick up a bottle and give it a try! :)

[@ranotasnyder8095]

I would stop drinking that immediately

[@jerrellbevers6071]

What kids need energy drinks and why would any parent choose to amp a child?!?

[@ICT_Anton]

​​@@jerrellbevers6071 he said his kids not his young kids... My kids are in their 20s but still my kids... I doubt he's jacking his 4 year old up on energy drinks... This is just a little lesson in minding your own business. You don't have to comment negatively on everything you see

[@airbb6371]

Prime is getting sued for having three times the PFOs forever chemicals that you should have in a life time.

[@user-gm7up8yi4s]

I have made this and I really like the slick design and free diagrams- I have used a pump up sprayer to add sealer to mine and have add a THICK 55gallon drum liner (trash bag) to the inside with the drilled holes through both this will keep the moisture in longer and will make the wood last longer- Again great video waiting on the promised 3 pcs trifecta planter group video!! keep up the great work!

[@WhosTheVoss]

We planted some tomatoe plants in the smaller boxes and I am adding a trash bag liner next year so the water can be absorbed in the soil. Water seal is a good touch so the cedar holds its color :) i like it

[@dymone4894]

Found this on accident a few weeks back. You made this look almost too easy but I decided to give it a try. Picked up 28 Pickets a week ago to make 4. Yesterday I had some time in the evening so I printed the cut list and cut all the pieces I would need, minus the trim. Took me between an hour and a half and two hours so not too bad. This morning my wife offered to put them together since I also had 2 other projects I was working on so I sent her a link to this video, set up a work space for her with some glue and a 18 gauge nail gun. Now my wife is one of the most intelligent people I've ever known, she was an Aircraft Mechanic in the Air Force after all but she very rarely does any wood working. I showed her how to load the nail gun when it ran out and let her go. I said you made this look almost too easy but it really was as easy as it looked. My wife had all 4 assembled in under 4 hours and all that was left for me to do was cut and attach the trim. So what's the verdict? The plans were perfect and the video was super simple to follow. Easy to put together? I thanked my wife for the help and she said, "All I did was put them together, you did the hard part." I don't agree who did the hard part but that should tell you how easy it was. How do they look? We intended to put two on each side of the driveway and they will look great there. The problem though is I put them on the deck after they were done and I really like them there. That means I'm making another trip to the big orange box store for another 28 pickets this week. Great job with this. I've definitely sub'd and will try a few more in the near future!

[@WhosTheVoss]

Sweet! :) glad it was a fun project for you both!

[@PlanB-Idaho]

Aaron. Great videos and great ideas. I managed to get some 1" cedar boards at a great price from a local fencing company, 50 cents a board!! I bought up what they had and started doing a search for planter designs and found your KZbin channel. I am impressed at your willingness to freely give these ideas and tutorials to others. I don't have the shop room you have so a table saw is not an option for me and have to rely on my circular saw for the ripping or I may just use precut 3" cedar boards for the legs and trim. I enjoy your enthusiasm in sharing your talents. You the Voss!!

[@WhosTheVoss]

Whoa whoa whoa... Lets talk about this .50 per board! Dang... Welcome to the community

[@PlanB-Idaho]

@@WhosTheVoss They were not grade A clean boards, some knots, some cracks but I am able to make use of the major part of the boards. They were likely discards from people picking through for a project and the fence company wanted to make room for new inventory. Win Win!! When my project using your plan is done I will be glad to share a pic with you of the end result.

[@toddhanke4551]

I made the smaller boxes this week and now you have me motivated to make this one. Off to the lumber store. Thank you for the awesome content.

[@WhosTheVoss]

Thanks Todd :) glad this motivates people to get in their shops and making some projects :)

[@WoodartAve]

Nice job. Just one tip, use galvanized brads. Only a couple dollars more and they will not rust out as fast. 18 ga. non-galvanized brads rust away completely in just few years. Keep up the good work.

[@WhosTheVoss]

Great tip! I had to order galvanized nails since my local stores only had traditional brads :P

[@browndogbbqvazquez8118]

[@alienxyt]

Made a pair of these for my Mom for Mother's Day. They are beautiful! Quite sturdy as well. Very happy with how true they came out using cedar. I had to buy 1x4" and 1x2" cedar boards for the legs and top rails, respectively, because I don't have a table saw for ripping planks. I was a little heavy handed with the staples. Used twice as many as you per box. Thanks for the plans. Keep up the cool project videos!

I made a couple of fence board planters a couple of years ago. Mine are about 2' x 4' x 30" and are constructed just like yours. These are three boards high for the box, and do hold a lot of dirt. This year the lower board on the long side started to move down on one end. I had to get some clamps to draw the board back into position and then glued and nailed some scrap board to the inside of the leg to support those long boards. Next time I build some, I'll add these additional supports from the get-go. Nice job on your video.

[@WhosTheVoss]

So close! Ive sold a few of the boxes with the cedar post, but those babies are cashy if you go with cedar instead of a treated 4x4. I have a friend that bought a few so she might be getting a freebie if I make another for KZbin ;)

[@wallyyates3577]

Thank you for the free plans. My long top trim pieces wound up being an inch longer than what is called for in the cut list, so I would recommend building the box first before cutting those particular pieces.

[@WhosTheVoss]

Yeahhhh, mine came out to 46-5/8" too. I need to get that switched

[@unityunity7355]

I absolutely love this. I had a good time making these. Would you ever consider doing something on a really small scale? Like for suculats that you could sell for like $10?

[@waynerowe8477]

Hey Aaron, thanks for posting this! I’m officially down the rabbit hole, table saw, circular saw, pocket hole jig, router, not mad tho! Questions…using cheap cedar from HD, where should I start with sealing/paint esp for the legs/parts that touch the grass? And how bad are interior brad nails to use outdoors? My first iterations that I sold use them :/. Also just a tip, Matt P did this cool 45° rotation hack to make a pointy tip on end of beams. That being said 21!

[@WhosTheVoss]

Woohoo! Welcome to the never ending purchase of tools :)you could seal the bottom like 1 inch to protect against discoloration from water touching the feet. Ive made these boxes for two years and have had no issues with the brad nails not being galvanized. I did see Matt's cool 7° planter box, I did not catch this nifty 45 degree trick though! Might have to jump on his channel. Glad you liked the video buddy! :)

[@fish.n.withjimmy9563]

Thanks for the video, been making smaller planter boxes. How much does this big one sell for.. if I may ask?

[@WhosTheVoss]

I sell my planters at $10 per picket it takes to build. This guy I sold for $90, it was my third requested box :)

[@heartgod]

Great video and explanation- one question- your plans call for 4 pieces of 5 1/2 x45 inches, but your video showed them being cut at 44 inches- which one should be used?

[@WhosTheVoss]

Ooooooo nice catch! As long as all four of them are cut the same length, it wont be an issue. Only thing it might affect is the last board you rip down to put in the center :)

[@chaddrose8182]

I pre cut everything according to the plans and had to trim the two supports for the bottom boards and the long, top trim pieces came out a tad short but good enough for my patio. Came back to watch the video again and that's where I noticed the discrepancy for the long side boards. No worries though, I really like how simple these plans are and how good the finished product looks. Of course the smell of cedar is always a plus.

[@alexhager4870]

Found the cuts to be a little off, 1 3/4 on the rips doesn’t allow for much landing of the sides and idk if I missed it but the top frame you might wanna indicate if the measurements are to the short or long point but nonetheless thank you for the build

[@WhosTheVoss]

[@julieward1523]

Hey Aaron, I see you use the shop vac but what about a dust collector? I am tired of all cleanup but I also don’t want to burn up a shop vac. I’m a newbie to your channel.

[@WhosTheVoss]

Ive investigated a few dust collection systems. I still have yet to find the perfect one that is wall mountable. All my equiptment is against one wall so running the tubes wouldnt be a problem. I just havnt bit the bullet yet. Shop vac has been doing just fine though, it does get a little warm when i run it for 15+ minutes at a time :)

[@julieward1523]

Thanks Aaron! I don’t have enough room for a wall mount. That’s a pipe dream for me, 😀

[@azwooddesign7431]

Hey Aaron thx for the great video and the plans! Quick question do you allow your cedar boards to dry out before you assemble your planter boxes?

[@WhosTheVoss]

Nope, I bring them inside the shop so they aren't in the elements, but I have no issues with shrinking:)

Curious if you sand down the rough picket fencing?

[@WhosTheVoss]

Nope, I leave them rough, these pickets are quite pretty when sanded though

[@billycrumpton9697]

So this maybe a crazy question. Could you use a 23 gauge pin nail instead of a brad nail to nail the boxes together? Will it hold like the brad nails?

[@WhosTheVoss]

Ive never experimented with pin nails, they do intrigue me though :)

[@PatMacino]

Are you using galvanized or stainless steel brad nails? If using galvanized nails, any issues with rust streaks over time? Great video!

Great video! How do you know how much to charge per planter box size? Is there a formula you use based on cost and labor?

[@WhosTheVoss]

Check out the "Boost your planter box" video, I list all my sales info in that one :)

How thick is the picket? Looking at the orange box store today to grab some. Thx

I use 5/8" x 5-1/2" x 6' pickets :)
