A creative upcycle trick: use old wood blinds for the slat wood. Less cutting and cheap;-)

[@tendo102]

That. Is. Genius.

[@tro8191]

Or pallets... did a similar project with pallets without disassembling them fully. Just some cuts and screwing together.

[@thedj5914]

Too thin untreated wood, wouldn't last a year outside 👎

[@Cleveland_Rocks]

@@thedj5914 you can stain and treat the wood.

[@m.santos1520]

For outdoor use is better to stick to pressure treated wood

[@m.santos1520]

Awesome and beautiful 👏👏👏👏👏

[@karinaibarra7359]

Sam I admire you so much! Having a full time job and still find the time to make all this awesome projects. You are amazing!

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you for the love! It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it! 💓

[@DavidrKun]

So my Girlfriend wanted some planters for a Japanese Style Bench I made. So I was in my search and stumbled upon your channel. This is kind of the style I am looking for. Thanks for the Inspiration. I am making them shorter.

[@Jenstirrr]

Literally what i was looking for! So simple and way to follow. Can’t wait to try it !!

[@diyhuntress]

This makes me so happy! I hope you’ll share your project with me!

[@kalashsharma4344]

@@diyhuntress can you plz link the exact wood stain plz

[@davidruiz195]

Perfect timing. I needed a project for MDW and just in time for summer on the patio! 🙌🏽 👍🏽 Now I just need to sell a kidney to afford the wood 🤣😅

[@sandrab2422]

Is it cheaper to buy or make? I don’t have a cutter, I have to wink at the lumber store to have the guys cut it. Lololol

[@JA-gf6zl]

@@sandrab2422 depends if you buy you could obviusly buy a plastic 3 dollars planter but I would say that for quality is cheaper to made

[@debbles]

I just made these, but I added 4 inch hairpin legs. I will be using them on a covered porch. I love the design.

[@darrenchichester9777]

Those are really great and look high end trendy resort! I would add some LED lights with exterior solar chargers in the bottom half of each. Would look super cool at night and provide you with some entryway path light

[@katherinegingras4626]

What a great idea! I love the fact that you use a plastic planter inside!

[@Beruthiel45]

I love them. 😊 No mitres. 👍😉 Plastic inserts. 👍😊 Beautiful. 👍💖

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

[@kayleekaya]

Thank you so much for sharing this FYI. This was super easy and fun to make! Love the outcome…we took this idea and made 8 feet long planter boxes. Wish I could share a picture to show off 😉. Thank you thank you thank you!

[@peterchan1933]

I would love to see how your 8ft planters came out I was thinking of the same thing to extend them longer width wise to fill more of the back yard. Is there a way for you to share a picture?

[@critttenm]

What size spacer did you use between the slats

[@chateaux-capristovall2048]

Is this not THE most beautiful planter EVER!?!?! Omg! I want to do a horizontal one to mount on the exterior wall where my deck is! WOW!

[@WoodshopDiaries]

Amazing as always Sam!! 🙌🙌🙌 I LOVE a good planter project 😍

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! 😘

[@LovelyShadowKing]

In the middle of binge watching your channel there's a new video, yay! Seriously though I am loving your channel. You are so inspiring for this gal who wants to start doing DIY so badly but has literally no experience. Keep doing what you do!

[@diyhuntress]

Ahhh - so glad you’re here! We all start somewhere! You’ve got this! 🙌🏼

[@JennaMcCallister]

Everything is turning out so great! Thank you so much for always including your materials in your blog posts. Finding the right type of lumber for projects is very intimidating to me, so it’s very helpful to have that!

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! So glad it’s helpful! 💓

[@cesarespinal8151]

I have built 6 wooden planters out of cedar wood, varnished them and they look so beautiful my neighbors love them

[@sterling18]

Very nice, also nice to see someone repping the 516.

[@jonathansnaturecrafts]

Those 2x2s look almost like some that I picked up off the roadside walking through my neighborhood when we were on lockdown, and carved a couple of St. Nicholas' from. I painted one red and the other green.

[@kimokahikolekalihi]

Love it! I think I'll do this for my rosemary bush that's in a 3 gallon ugly white square pot.

[@Jkcreswell]

Absolutely LOVE those planters! I'm definitely going to make some of these for the front of my house! Thank you for your awesome tutorial!

[@pmills524]

Love how simple these are and gorgeous

[@monkeyman8265]

These look real nice minimalistic like Scandinavian style.

[@asimplelifewoodworking8318]

Planters look amazing and they look great on the outside of your shop.

[@musiqclub9725]

Hey thx for this! Yes those of us with lumber hoarding habits (including myself) srsly need an anon group.....cheers from Toronto!

Nice planters! Simple, yet that is all you need.

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

[@VDHandcrafted]

@@diyhuntress I have just posted my first video of a sun lounger that I am currently building. It is nowhere near as professional as yours stuff but I do not have big aspirations :). I just want to give something back to the youtube woodworking/diy community as I have learned so much from all the channels. And maybe someday someone will find my video useful...

[@dmcn6940]

You’ve just given me the idea I’ve been looking for. Nice one.

[@diyhuntress]

Yassss.

[@gazsto9510]

One of the nicer designs I have seen and very modern looking. Next job on my list, modern slat planters! Great video.

[@kathymacomber5115]

Those planters are perfect

[@o0bluemilk0o]

I wish I had seen this earlier. I was just at home Depot. This is EXACTLY what I've been looking for!

[@diyhuntress]

Hope you get a chance to make some!

[@Yusufmasron]

simple but nice planter box. love the front entrance of yr shop

[@lauriehuber3040]

At the price of wood these days need to save all the scraps! Never know when they can be used in a project. ❤️❤️❤️ these planters!

[@2icelollys1goat]

These look so good! Really well done; and a fantastic, perfectly pitched little video. ATB from England

[@pteddie6965]

Classy looking planters, Sam. Thanks for sharing this video.

Thank you for supporting my habits. 😁

[@Blurko17]

Thank you very much for this video. I think and feel that you´re loveable !!! With this video you gave me some hints to solve a related isue !!! I already subscribed to your chanel because I suspect that I´ll find much more valuable hints in it !!! Thank you again. God blesses you !!!

[@reality150tv]

Nice job, and yes that olympic deck stain is great, awesome product. I dont recommend using a sealer like poly on anything outside that gets weathered or sun on it, it will always need resealing every year recommended, even the marine varnish also. At 2 years often u will have peeling poly , if it is a porch ceiling that is about only place i use it exterior, other than that i use porch and deck stains that last much longer. Like front doors and shutters i use a product called siekens i think is how it is spelled, it was bought by ppg a couple years ago so it is a ppg product now, but it is a great product.

[@erichami]

Thank you! This is great inspiration for creating a stacking planter set on my deck to reduce the reflected light and heat.

[@pamelagriffith7911]

Great Job!!! Just what I needed as an attractive driveway stop.

[@firebird8600]

These planters look amazing! [Waited til the video was over to comment, but insta-liked the video]

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you so much!

[@yvonnecarter9705]

That’s because we have a good eye. I did the same👋👋👋

[@reality150tv]

I think the way you did it, I think it looks good . U would end up with gaps as the wood dries out anyways so i think this was the best choice.

[@miketorres6713]

Great ideal. Thanks .just what I needed to see.

[@arlenesolis024]

Love love ❤️ the planter and shed. Great 👍🏼 work!🤗

[@diyhuntress]

Right!? Thank you so much!

[@keshavsingh635]

Awesome project sam. Good job. In south africa them slatted planter would be around 1500 to 2500. Looking foward to the next 1.

[@sheilasaxton3836]

Beautiful planters

[@jw1731]

What an amazing coincidence. I was recently thinking of the same - using cheap lumber with a cedar-like stain and waterproof finish to build a raised bed and a shower bench (Was just researching Olympic vs Thompson’s). The timing of your video is perfect. Your project turned out beautifully, and the color looks just like cedar.

[@diyhuntress]

Yesss! Thank you!

[@roppa789]

It’s not coincidence though JW….. it’s KZbin/Facebook/Instagram/Google/Alexa etc, etc all tracking your searches, your queries, your thoughts that you’ve discussed or videos you’ve watched etc…. I’m not knocking it. It is what it is in 2021.

[@MissChelle]

Hi from Australia! New sub Loving your channel ❤️ I used to make recycled timber furniture many years ago before I got sick & had to give it up. You bought back lots of great memories, thank you. ❤️🇦🇺

[@ginacable5376]

Absolutely brilliant.

[@dosam_6146]

Love these!! This is making me think of other projects I’d like to see you do. How about a little privacy screen in the same style? Or a mailbox holder… I feel like I’ve already asked you about that last one.

[@shermanlab9477]

Beautiful, practical and well made. Congratulations and thanks for sharing. SL

[@Kodiak727]

It’s beautiful

[@carolineah1318]

Stunning

[@wvp07]

Tried this project today; gonna have to modify it because, although I used the measurements from your site, the 14” slats are too short and the 16.5” are too long. I also couldn’t figure out how the two different sizes were to fit around a square box, but I’ll tweak the frame tomorrow and it should come out fine. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@SeenD]

If you pause at 8:13, you can see that she uses 2 different sized slats. So the long ones are for the front and back, and the shorter ones are for the side. The long ones overhang the thickness of the slat. I hope your build turned out okay. :)

[@reinhardburkholder590]

Turned out really nice for a really simple build, thank you.

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you!

[@LeoValencia-zo6pt]
