How to Build a Trellis Planter

[@camicri4263]

Oh my goodness, just came across this video you made 9 years ago, I can't believe how time flies!❤🤗❤️ great job Laura and Aaron!

[@freedomofreligion3248]

Laura, it's 2023 and I'm just seeing this -- you, nine years ago!! You are a natural, woman!

[@amyvinson4398]

Hi Laura! I have been watching you now for years and am so impressed at how relaxed and professional you have gotten! That said, this is STILL one of my favorite videos! I’m actually going to be trying to build this in the next month. If you see this comment, wish me luck! Also, if you ever do an update on this design, I’m sure it will go viral! :)

[@CarolynFederhofer]

Beautiful! Can you upload the plans again or post a new link to them?

[@morajesusplease-ugetubeatc8798]

I love that you are so much more formal when you started, and I came in at 5 years it looks like, and you can tell how much more comfortable you've gotten at doing your videos! It's great to see the wonderful transformation, and you are such an inspiration for me to try new plants in my small garden! Thank you!

[@lindaleedurham345]

I started watching you on Facebook about a month ago. Now I'm here, so I can watch you from the beginning!! I love this project!!

[@jayt717]

Wooooooooooowwwww...huge difference in your demeanor from the year you started up until now (2019). You definitely made a change for the better 👍🏼

[@imamonstr]

I think she just feels natural now!!!

[@gabrielaerwin7091]

Laura, with this video I found you 3 years ago and you amazed me with your talent👏 I didn't have a clue of youtube and since then I look forward every single day for your videos🙂 I just love everything you do, thank you for sharing your talent with us❤🙋🏻‍♀️Greetings from southern California

[@sdjnwhyNZ]

Glad to see someone getting the mitresaw running with full speed then cutting. Too many pro carpenters just do the cut as long as they pull the trigger, which damages the saw belt or motor due to the blade biting.

[@PawsandTravel]

Laura you’re so beautiful, strong and knowledgeable..I get so inspired watching your videos! Just found you on YT recently and I’ve been enjoying starting from the beginning. Congrats on the baby!!!! 🎊

[@suannetoonk57]

I found this video tonight from your Highlights channel - and love it. Not only do I want to build this project, but I love seeing how much you've grown in the last 6 years. You are truly wonderful and I pray God's richest blessings upon your family and household. I also loved the metal containers you placed out in the new area near the tomatoes for Benjamin to find his strawberries in today's video. I am so grateful I found your channel ... maybe 2 1/2 years ago, thereabouts. /wave

[@mossandoak4796]

You seriously post the best videos! I love how straight to the point you are

[@Ash-xx5zd]

Omg. The shakey camera reminded me it's not just Laura who improved and became more confident with garden answers!!!! You guys are amazing. Best youtube couple!!! ...😍

[@emeldaintongsolana6947]

You are so artistic and creative I salute you friend....God bless your Chanel...

[@benazirsj]

It's fun watching old videos 🤣🤣❤️❤️

[@petertait9166]

I just wanted to let you know that my son and I just built this today. It took us 4.5 hours to build. It looks awesome! We made it 6 feet wide instead of 4 feet Thank you very much for the inspiration. Peter

[@gardenanswer]

Peter Tait Hi Peter! That's great-I'm go glad to hear it! I like the idea of making it wider- that would make an even better screen. I'll say one thing...it took me for than 4.5 hours to build mine! Ha! Well done! ~Laura

[@Sonia-hw3yx]

You give great ideas for your viewer's. Thank you 😊 😊

[@bigmess1467]

I haven’t seen a wood buy list posted, so I thought I’d share. I just built this today, though made some very minor adjustments to the top and feet. Absolutely love it! 8 - 1” x 6” x 6’ cedar pickets 6 - 2” x 4” x 8’ pressure treated 2 - 4” x 4” x 8' pressure treated 2 - 1” x 4” x 8’ pressure treated 1 - 4’ x 8’ lattice Hope this helps! Please keep in mind that if you use the directions from the link, the 2x1 is incorrect. She uses 2x4’s for the sides.

[@klharndt]

Thanks so much for this!!

[@uzmariaz8802]

Dear . I am in new in gardening. Just intiated gardening by planting mint , penzi, salad leaves & tomatoes. Then I searched that if there is any good guidance or expert around. I take you as my mentor now, you are away , I don't know where you are from or from which country, but I can feel that you are around. I am under your coaching so thank you for making us good Gardner. I loved your love to nature & soil. Great inspiration for me. Thank you & love, ❤

[@gardenanswer]

+Uzma Riaz Gardening is my favorite thing to do, so I'm happy to hear that you are doing it, too!

[@cooladi6]

i am from India and today just go through your garden answer and found it very nice and innovative, keep this good work continue .

[@melvinJrockbond]

Wow, I have been scouring the web to purchase one of these but I am betting building one would save me a ton of money. Thanks for creating this tutorial. Gorgeous design!

[@gardenanswer]

+Melissa Kern Thanks for the comment! This video was actually the product of searching and searching for something like this and not really finding anything close, so I gave it a shot myself! Let me know how it goes if you decide to go for it! :) ~Laura

[@SaeedAhmed-nx4db]

+Melissa Kern its really true

[@grisespino8765]

Love it.. it can be modified as a potting center and the trellis a tool holder! Keep the projects coming 8)

[@treflips180]

Just finished this project. A couple tips: if you use the link provided for your plans, as I did, it has the sides listed as 2x1's. Do NOT use 2x1's! They will not match up correctly. Not sure why the plans say that, as she is using 2x4's in the video, and that is what you should use. Also, there is simply no way she attached the sides, then the back, then the front. Do the back first, laid down, then the sides, then the front. Again, in the video, she is clearly doing the back first. If you're getting your wood at Home Depot or lowes, there usually isn't an oak screen trim, so I wouldn't bother looking for it. Pine or cedar are usually the only options in that size. I used pine and it works great.

[@treflips180]

Also! I didn't buy dimensional lumber for the plankings like she did. I used pallet wood. Instead of it being a solid plank all the way across the front, it was two rows of planks, butted up against each other and screwed down at the sides and the center post. This way may take a bit more creativity to get things (mostly) flush, but since you're lining it anyways, it'll work fine. I think I used four or five pallets.

your my hero, your helping me get started with my garden.

[@kimecker]

What an extension of amazing talents you have there young lady. This is just stunning

[@gregorp8406]

It came out great!! Maybe you should try to put the lining inside the box first and the screw down the top bezel of the planter, I think it might hold it down better and give you a more flush install.

[@isabelc5387]

I love it! It looks great. I'm binge watching your videos right now. So much stuff I want to try and make myself. :D

[@gardenanswer]

+Isabel Carrillo Thank you so much! I have a long list of projects I want to tackle, too!

[@debschultheis544]

Looks great! I’m going to try it. Thanks.

[@pershop4950]

I like that your assembly idea didn't use pocket holes (at which point, you must mention that you made the pocket holes using a Kreg jig, of course). Thanks for the video!

[@Uniq_Jer31vs33]

I didn't know Laura did this type of thing. I was already impressed with her abilities, but woodwork too?! Amazing and looks very professional. Has she been trained in this?

[@bubblebeebartend]

I know I've already watched this video but it's so good! The planter is so beautiful. I really admire how you didn't see what you wanted out there so you built it! Great work!

[@siduri03rob]

Beautiful planter! Great job! I especially like seeing the finished project IN THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO!! So often I lose patience with DIY projects that go through cutting and assembly and only show the finished project at the end of the video. I want to see if it's worth it before possibly wasting my time. This one works for me. :) Thank you

[@dorenenagy564]

Looks awesome. Going to try this for my patio.

[@sunshine-qv4hn]

Wow! its almost 6 years and still watching your videos.

[@leoninalacay215]

Nice job! thank you for sharing, very beautiful.

[@pht72]

Wow. Great planter and fantastic videography. I need to build on against the fence , but it is a little sloped for runoff. I guess just adjust the feet to account for the slope? Back feet higher than front feet.

[@JLitodiaz]

I cannot find the plans. Anyway the plans may be re-uploaded mam? Thank You ! Love how this turned out !!

[@jamesdobson9528]

wow i loved it. as a wood artist it shows me how to build it and become better. also make one of my house.

Im going to use this but add thinner 1x3 moldings for front to add a little depth and visual appeal. And prob make the top boards overhang a bit as well. may use vinyl lattice too(if cheaper) as im going to paint whole thing white.And Im going to make two.On each side of and existing archwayOtherwise I love the design.Thx for the inspiration

Really liked the video. Thank you! My next project.

[@gillianbc]

Really nice planter, good tutorial and great video shooting. Nice work! You could perhaps have saved on a bit of compost by filling the bottom 8" or so with old plant pots, plastic bottles etc. It also helps with drainage and makes it a little lighter if you ever need to move it

Nice project thank you for the information.

[@davestalybridge]

please can you suggest nice plants for a wooden planter, not too expensive but very colourful and unusual by the way I am in England..

[@AnimeShinigami13]

Manuel Mendoza fiddlehead flowers and hyssop for purple. if you're an early riser, flax for a blue. The flax has an added bonus in that you can cut it up in the fall and mulch the bed or engage in old fashioned textile work. Zinnias are easy as pie and were used by the aztecs for dye, even better they come in giant or dwarf sizes. Alliums, specifically garlic, are very useful in fact not just the bulbs but the greens and scapes can also be used in cooking. they also repel bugs.

[@davestalybridge]

Thank you for the information, the climate here is very wet at the moment..rain and more rain. I will visit my local nursery and have a look when the weather gets better, I need plants that will look after themselves and keep appearing without the need to be replaced every year.

[@freedomofreligion3248]

This is just about the prettiest planter/trellis I've ever seen!! Nice design! Laura + Aaron: Your link to these plans has, of course, expired as this video is 9 yrs ago. Do you happen to have those plans in your file, handy?? Thx so much.

[@angellas.1314]

I’ve been watching your guidance for about 3 years now and I just found this old one. You have come a long way! How has the planter held up? I haven’t seen it in any recent videos?

[@NoName-rg3np]

The box looks fantastic and your videos rock! Just wanted to give your subscribers a heads up... If you plan on planting fruits and veggies in this box be careful not to use the chemically treated wood. They say the newer treatments are safer, but stay skeptical of any processes like that, where chemicals can leach into your garden. Look for the small slits and unnatural color on the wood. If it has that then it's chemically treated. Great work on the box, though!

[@gardenanswer]

Thanks Jon! Absolutely, thanks for the reminder! It's always good to remember to stay away from chemically treated wood! -Laura
