Modern Outdoor Planters DIY I 4K

Modern Outdoor Planter Boxes DIY using slats:
These outdoor planters use slats to make up 4 panels that slip together to form a modern looking planter box. Great for any outdoor living space. Stained black with a cedar tone top.
Made to fit a specific plastic flower pot, this is a pretty simple woodworking project. It’s a lot of repetitive cutting, sanding and staining. But worth it I think for the pretty stylish results. (Your opinion may vary 😊).
Perfect for a deck, front entry, balcony or in my case a patio.
I suppose you could alter the design for raised planters for container gardening.
The video takes you Step by step through the build.

Thank you 😊

[@mundlkalli4396]

Great video and design...Looks great !!!! Love the the contrast of the top vs.the black. Any idea how much you spent on material? Thanks again

[@DIYFotoWorks]

Thank You! I believe it was roughly $100 for the pressure treated wood. It was still post Covid Pricey. A bit less now here in (Canada) Plus your pots of course. I had the exterior stain already. Hope this helps. Thanks for Watching!

[@bekahvine]

Great work. Nice design. I wouldn't choose sedum for a patio plant. The bees love them.

[@DIYFotoWorks]

Thanks, Sedum only for video filled with wispy grasses now. 😊

[@CherrieMcKenzie]

I really like these planters and plan to make a couple for my patio seating area. Great idea to use the 2x2 as a marker for the inside!!

[@DIYFotoWorks]

Thank you, Good Luck & Thanks for Watching 😊

[@rspqr2010]

Great video. Thank you

[@DIYFotoWorks]

😊 👍🏻

[@greatgrandpaswoodworking]

I like the layout and build but asking why can't short slats be glued/screwed to make one panel then glue/screw the long slats to cover the ends of the short slats. Same outcome but no extra 2x2 inside? Just a question.

[@DIYFotoWorks]

They can be done that way…Thanks for Watching

[@jessicag630]

Is the wood stain 3:40 safe for soil and plants? Is it waterproof?

[@DIYFotoWorks]

The wood stain is a solid Color Exterior Wood Stain, generally meant for fences etc. Very Durable, essentially waterproof. It’s never in contact with soil/plants. Thanks for Watching! 😊

👏👏👏👏👏👍💯🥰

[@DIYFotoWorks]

Thanks! 😊 & Thanks for Watching.

[@RichardAponte-cs5fj]

How wide are the slats

[@DIYFotoWorks]

2 5/8”

[@RichardAponte-cs5fj]

Thank you, it looks great

[@corrineament6466]

Not that easy for beginners

[@DIYFotoWorks]

Possibly, can’t please everyone.

[@eevd350z]

Did place a saucer underneath? The concrete will get brownstained over time
