DIY XL Picket Planter - Low Cost High Profit - Make Money Woodworking - Mothers Day Ideas

This easy DIY XL heavy duty shrub/bush/ornimental tree planter is awesome! In this video, I will be teaching you step-by-step how to build this huge planter by using only 4 fence pickets and a 2x4! In my area right now pine pickets are $1.98 each and the cedar pickets have come down to $3.37. 2x4s are $3.38. That means that you can make these beautiful planters for around $12 in the material. I've received countless success stories from people building and selling tons of the picket planters of each design so make sure to check them out! I'll link the other planter designs below.

Thanks for this new planter idea. I have built 10 each of your last four planters which I have taken to my local Flea Market and rented the space next to flower and tree sellers. I asked if I could borrow some of their flowers and trees to stage my planters. I told the sellers than I would tell any of my customers were I got them from. They gave me a discount if I sold their plants with my planters. I sold every planter I brought before 1pm and 90% of the plants I had in them. This seller said I could use some of their double spaces new weekend to sell my planters and their plants. Thank you again,

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

That’s how it’s done!! Very nice!

I just made the 3 fence picket one yesterday. Excited to make this one too. Your instructions are exquisite.

Lighthouses would make for a cool picket build I think. I live on the coast and a tonne of people love the look of wooden garden lighthouses, built as short and as tall as 2ft-10ft tall. Every time I see one I think how easy it would be to make one out of fence pickets or pallet wood.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Start making some! It seems lighthouses are an item that has always stayed "in".

[@comedian0338]

@@MatthewPeechWoodworking That's the plan! It's the tapered cuts with miters that have me a little nervous, but if I've learned anything from your channel it's that just because something seems/looks difficult doesn't mean it is lol

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thank you so much

[@Bloodlust1ify]

I built two of the 20 inch ones today. I tried the pocket hole method but the wood kept splitting out so I just used a counter sink bit and drilled out the holes on the legs to hold the boards. I also increased the width of the bottom slats from 1/2 inch to 1 inch so those pocket holes would not split out. Also as soon as I posted them in a woodworking group I'm in they wanted to know everything so I shared your video. 05/03/2023

I had to move from my apartment because they doubled the rents. Had to get a mortgage on a trailer house, as that was all we could afford. I watch this channel, because it gives me hope, that what I almost started at the apartment, I could eventually start here. Thanks Matt.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

You’ve got this!

[@alexreid4131]

An unexpected request I’ve had is to make the base of the planter (whatever the style) to be able to fit a Lowe’s or Grainger 5 gal bucket. I didn’t think much of it at the time. But putting that in the description of my products increased my sales. All it took was taking some of Matt’s designs (which I’ve bought the plans for) and tweaking the measurements. Oh, also people want the top of the planter to be at least an inch proud of the lip of the bucket.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Oh nice!

[@edwardholtgraver7353]

"An inch proud of the lip of the bucket." Can you tell me what that means, please? Thanks!

[@alexreid4131]

@@edwardholtgraver7353 the customer has asked for the "bucket" to be at least an inch lower that the planter box. Does that make sense now?

I have made 2 of the larger ones and 1 farmhouse style for customers. They loved them. I bought your plans for these planters and they were perfect. Thanks Matthew. I charged $120 for the larger ones and $100 for the farmhouse style.

[@michaelsmall6818]

I just started making these and other projects, but the first set of planter boxes I made I used a torch and slightly burnt the wood instead of staining... they looked awesome and sold in one day...

[@CharlesGann1]

Glad to see the variety of scales appreciate your work.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Glad you like them!

[@GundamGir1]

The mitre cut tops work awesome, cut 8 tops today to add to fence posts.

[@-ThePREACHER-]

I found that when you set the cross boards flush with the outside of the frame - the corners split on the legs when you drive in the pocket screws... Even tried switching to 1" just regular screws and it still split. Had to remake 2 of the legs... In the end I used a 1/4 piece of a birch wood to inset the cross boards and had NO problems after that. Plus the legs stand out a little more proudly now too!!! About done with the fist one - and for my first time dealing with angles, I WISH you had explained the shapes a little better so I understood if it was like this - \___/ or /___/ Either way - I appreciate the video and it's turning out GORGEOUS. THANK YOU!

[@Fat_Cat_25]

I came across the same issue. And had the same idea. I came here looking for this comment to see if it worked for anyone else. Thank you.

[@jakeg1342]

I had the same issue. If I was to make another one, I will make the cross pieces 3/4 in thickness vs. 5/8. Also, I'd make them 1 3/4 inch or 2 inch vs. 1 1/2. I've shelved this project and moved on to different style planters.

Love the size of that planter Matthew. Just my thought, for the groove on the top of the posts, wouldn't it be quicker making a stop instead of doing all that marking and using the table saw? They would line up perfect too.

Was looking to make fence finials think I'll try making the fancy ends and adding them to my fence posts. Thanks.

[@thefrankperspective4247]

Also, just figured out how to set up my miter saw to do those carve out / half lap / depth stop adjust thing. Took like 2 seconds, but months for me to actually check. Gonna be SO much more convenient than juggling a circular saw.

[@joshbrown5073]

built this in sketchup while buliding in real life, yes i like to over build stuff lol.. but i think the leg messurements are off. you cant be a quatuer inch from the 3 in inset and also be 1.75 in up from bottom that distance is 17 and the wall boards are 17.5.. am i missing something? could it be the the wall boards arent actually 17.5? After adjusting to keep your layout. The wall boards need to be 16 1/2 not 17.5 Hope this helps a fellow ocd woodworkers. GREAT ORIGINAL POST THO

[@roccit]

Hah, searched the comments to see if anyone else had this issue. I had already built it so just took my multi tool and took an inch off two sides (across from each other) to give me that half inch space to attach the bottom boards. Yes, wall boards should be 16 ½"

[@eljefetx]

Same issue. I'm to the point of attaching the decorative trim and the lengths and the angles are all off. I'm guessing the legs need to be longer but I'm not sure by how much.

Not yet... but it's still on the list!

[@jetah]

take this 18in planter and put some boards across 2 of them. optionally you can add 1 across the bottom-middle for support.

[@bearrepublicwoodww]

If you can build this planter, a bench is not much harder. I'm from NC also and would be happy to help you design your bench. Just send me a msg.

[@timwilson659]

Like jeTah said, build 2 of these for the ends. I would slightly modify the side where the seat will attach to, as that is where you will mount the seat connector. I made 1 with pallet wood and 2x4's. Measures 9' in total length. My planters are not this nice, but they work. Put small spacers between the 2x4's on the ends and a couple along the length.

[@jeffreycasto4610]

Your videos are awesome I think they are easy to follow

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I appreciate that!

[@appliedclinicalvr2359]

This was an easy decision to buy the project plans. The one thing I did a bit differently was cutting the 45 degree cuts first, and on a longer than needed piece of wood. I cut the 45 degree angles first in case I screwed up (which I did). That way I just chopped off the offending miter cut without ruining the whole piece. Practicing on scrap lumber before hand helped too since my old DeWalt chop saw doesn't have a shadow or laser cutting guide.

[@greenhornadventure]

Great simple explanation of what looks to be a complicated build. $30 of material can turn around and sell for $100+. One tip to make things easier; set up stop blocks on either side of the blade for cutting the decorative leg grooves so there's no need to measure/mark and no chance of cutting in the wrong spot. Same thing for the top bevel. Just bump, chop,turn.. no brainer. Also I know you're building this for the video, but there are 1" pocket hole screws with a yellow outdoor coating. Armor Tools makes them. Keep up the good work.

Hi Matthew. Can you please start using mm,cm etc. Most of us watching your work dont work with those messurements. It would be glady apriciated. Like your work, and learned alot from you. Not sure but i think its metric im ref to.

Lovely as always Matt 👍😊

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Thanks!

I love these builds 😍 Do you have videos or a playlist for basics like ripping boards without a table saw? I have a 19-ancient table saw, but I refuse to use it, thus my dilemma 😅🤷‍♀️

[@gailjohnson3544]

Thank you for all you great videos. Could beach wood be used and work for outdoors

[@Countryboy246]

If i close my eyes i can hear Billy Bob Thornton telling me how to build a planter! 😂😂😂 awesome sauce!!

[@micktannahill]

Hahahahaha omg I’m never gonna unhear that now 😂😂😂

[@gsp911]

I wish we had the same prices for wood. It would set me back $36 in materials where I live. But I'm definitely going to make a few of them.

[@rlm9825]

Another great video. Thank you.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Glad you enjoyed it

Had my first show yesterday, sold 2 of the farmhouse style and 1 of the original 2 picket tapered planters. I was encouraged, but it looks like the market is getting saturated, 2 others at this show had the cedar garden baskets from a couple of weeks ago, each with it's own twist, but not many people were buying.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Maybe try getting with a local nursery/greenhouse and see if they are interested in working with you.

I had someone ask me to build them a small chick coop for their baby chickens that looked like these.

[@joelburrow9195]

Matthew what is the name of the blue tool you are using to measure and where can we get it, Please? Sorry just found the link you have for it and purchased it. BOOM!!!

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Oh good! Yea I try to put them in my description.

[@jeremyhuggins8796]

As always, LOVE IT!

[@Kansastreetop]

Always great ideas.

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

Glad you like them!

[@philmurphy7487]

Incredible work as always, great content! My pickets always shrink after i assemble so im taking a break on pickets for now

[@ericwall8862]

This is the issue I'm having as well, the width of the cedar pickets shrink leaving gaps. Is the hey to this buying the pickets and letting them sit in the garage for a week or two?

[@philmurphy7487]

@Eric Wall i couldnt tell ya, ive left these 2 stacks of 10, clamped together, in my garage for almost 3 months and they still shrank. My only advice would be to no have them all together. Try having one, then shim up another on top, and so on. I put all 10 boards on top of eachother and found only the top one was really dry but the others were still damp. Having that gap inbetween would aerate well

[@richardmccann4815]

​​@@ericwall8862 if you have a dry garage, running a small fan directed across or along the length would speed the process a lot! Shift the fan around a bit, and get different locations after a few hours in one area! And use small sticks to allow maximum drying!

[@ericwall8862]

@@richardmccann4815 thanks for the advice. I do and I will try that. I will do it for about 7 days and see how they turn out. I will measure along the way

[@aieeejo]

Excellent! Do you (or did you) leave these unfinished or did you stain/paint, varnish, etc?

[@MatthewPeechWoodworking]

I do all the above.

[@Barackrifle]

$20 is $20. Nice work with this one
