Modern Raised Planter Box | Simple and Fast

[@robertdiffin9136]

With some different materials and some creative ideas you’ve doubled the value of those other planter boxes.

[@Velly_drums]

Planter looks really nice, glad to see it’s completely different than what I’m seeing on KZbin and FB marketplace.

[@FrankiePastore]

Beautiful design and look really solid. Must weigh more than my old Buick! Looking forward to the plans. Thanks for all you do Zach.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

It's definitely not blowing away

[@MDD1966]

I just built two of these with recycled lumber from an old fence!

[@CharleyFelino]

Beautiful! Don't have all the tools you have to do exactly what you did but it certainly gave me some ideas to try.

[@guybowers9094]

It's a Great looking planter box. Need to make a couple of these for the wife.

[@donmiller8712]

Fast, simple and inexpensive to make! Looks great too

[@bpearson9559]

I,ve looked at so many designs and wow this is really cool, and so far the very best I have seen. Just as note this the first time I've even responded in a comment section. 2 Thumbs up!!!!!👌👍👍

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Thanks for commenting on one of my videos!

[@Cuban_Trogon]

this is the best looking and simple planter box i have seen on youtube!!! thank you for the build video... also, thank you for having all your plans available for free on your website!!! God bless you!!!

[@seanpaula8924]

Very nice 👍

[@SarcasmoRex]

Holy carp I will so be making a pair of these. My missus will love them.

[@bakerfx4968]

I might be getting a table saw soon and this seems simple enough to try! Thank you sir

[@jimrosson6702]

Zach what an amazing idea the best planter box I’ve see yet. Definitely going to make a couple of these for my mom and sister. Thanks so much for sharing

[@enrickyw]

I just got into woodworking and your videos are awesome! There are a lot of great woodworking content creators out there but I find your content the most enjoyable. Looking forward to your next video! Thanks for all that you do.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I really appreciate it!

[@josephjoe9088]

Great video love it. I really like how you used the router for the grooves rather the tablesaw as I see other people do. Great video

[@vmoutsop]

Quick and easy and it looks great. This is such a great channel. Much appreciated.

[@jefff6167]

Great build and fantastic demonstration. Thanks for taking the time to create such useful content. Also, thanks for keeping your project plans very affordable, much appreciated. 👍🇺🇸

[@greid9349]

Thanks man! The planter looks great

[@joselopeziii8776]

Beautiful work ❤

[@wendycracovia8003]

Looks awesome!

[@RockyRiverHills]

Great looking build, my guy!

[@dottielynch9763]

This planter is fantastic. Great build! Waiting patiently for the plans, and picked up a couple more on your website.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Should hopefully be posting them later today

[@TheWoodworkingCorner]

Good stuff, I enjoyed it. Gonna use the concept for something around the pool. I like that design.

[@normk5761]

Next level stuff sir, thank you! I'm finally going to invest a little money for a router table. They're not that much and this is the perfect excuse!

[@iserod2206]

Beautiful build, not my style but applaud your work👏 Bravo 👍

[@ryantheentrepreneur4040]

Very nice!

[@jbenson9403]

I add little rubber feet to the bottom of the planter so the wooden base can dry out and last longer.

[@holdemNE1]

9:13 oops. It's on the bottom...........it doesn't matter. Nice build.

[@steveroberson5147]

Did you purchase that jig you used to square the edges during assembly?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I have the 90 degree corner clamps in the video description

[@davidking3550]

Nice project Zach! Thanks for pulling together the build. What type of stain are you using on pre-treated wood?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I used varathane oil based stain in Gunstock. Then a poly top coat. amzn.to/3yy1sDL

[@chinese244]

I love that design and different from other planters.....Thank you ! How many 2x6 did you use ? Thank you

[@chinese244]

Sorry I just saw the answer. Thank you again

[@Ding_Bat]

Nothing beats our pine planters that measure 900mm x 900mm x 450mm that we buy from a local scrap wood retailer for R30.00. That’s less than $1.75! Slap a bit of stain on there, and you’re good to go for 2 seasons. Nice build nonetheless! 😉

[@GuillaumeDuteil1]

It looks awesome. Do you apply any finish after staining it?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I applied crystal clear matte poly

[@paullopresti9568]

I was thinking of using one by sixes but the grooves might not look as good.

[@diezmon]

I can't wait to attempt finding a straight 2x6 at Menards, Lowes, or the depot 😂

[@BearMountainBuilds]

You got this!

[@theoriginalbagelboy]

I wish you accepted PayPal as a payment option in your plan store. Nice video.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Sorry, wish I could but this is what I'm limited to on my site

[@RogerD-hx5sd]

Zach, who makes the table top clamp system you use to keep assemblies square?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I'm using the Powertec T- track mounted into my table top amzn.to/4e8xIh7 and their bench stops amzn.to/3x5bCeJ

[@steveroberson5147]

Would there be an issue if I cut 3/8” slots?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

It may change the spacing of the slots slightly

[@amkmc12]

What program do you use to make your plans? I would like to evolve from pen and paper but don't know where to look.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I use adobe illustrator

[@IrishFF1972]

If I wanted to add some wheels is that possible? Love your work

[@BearMountainBuilds]

You definitely could with a bit of tweaking to the design

[@IrishFF1972]

@@BearMountainBuilds Thanks for the advice. Having a little trouble locating the plans for this build. I have been to your website and I have clicked on the link, but nothing am I missing something

[@joe-hd3uv]

Another banger man, love you’re stuff. Question about working with pressure treated wood though. Is it true I have to wait a month after purchasing for it to dry out before it can be stained?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I bought this wood about 2 weeks before I stained it so I would say no, but depends on how wet your wood is when you buy it. Worst comes to worst you could just apply a second coat of stain later.

[@kyleallen1858]

Oh boy. I can’t do this build lol. Router tables are rare

[@BearMountainBuilds]

You can cut the slots on a table saw too.

[@RonBroman]

What software are you using to make your plans? The cut plan section in particular is awesome!

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Thanks! I use Adobe Illustrator

[@RonBroman]

@@BearMountainBuilds Ha that’s even more impressive 🤣

[@milakamerman]

I don't have a router, is it possible to do the router slots with my skil table saw?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I'd recommend doing two passes on a table saw per slot. you could do it with a skill saw but it would take awhile

[@milakamerman]

@@BearMountainBuilds Thank you so much! Appreciate your quick replyy

[@milakamerman]

@@BearMountainBuilds Great video and love the planter box!

[@paullopresti9568]

I have a question, how heavy is it when it's finished without the dirt

[@BearMountainBuilds]

It's pretty heavy. Probably 30ish lbs

[@paullopresti9568]

Thanks for the reply

[@b3arwithm3]

With this kind of lumber, its impossible to have things squared and level.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

If you run the boards through the table saw on each side they will be square

[@b3arwithm3]

@@BearMountainBuilds you assume they are flat. Most of them are warped on all 3 dimensions. I like your design but I think the assembly won't be without hiccups. But given it's an outdoor planter, maybe we don't need everything to line up.

[@bill2461]

How many 2 x 6's did you use, and are they 8ft or 10 ft. Trying to figure cost to build.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

It requires either 6 8ft boards or 5 10ft boards

[@mattyeh2718]

Looks very nice. Why so many fasteners, it feels like you could've used like 25%?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I like to make sure it won't come apart

[@springfield417]

Is this still possible without a router table?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Definitely! You can do the same thing on a table saw using a regular blade and making two passes per slot or use a dado blade

[@devojohnston420]

I just bought this plan for $3.00 and one other one for $3 plus some free ones, from your website. Only got to download one free one. When it finished download I couldn’t get back to download page anymore. How is this fixed?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I'm not sure what happened. Feel free to send me an email to [e-mail] and I can share the plans you're looking for with you.

[@aliens1990990]

Nice planter tbf

[@ConcreteLand]

There is no such thing as “inexpensive” pressure treated 2x6.

[@1nteract1ve]

Pressure treated 2x6 is about 25 percent of the price of a cedar 2x6.

[@kyleallen1858]

Especially in Bidens administration

[@paullopresti9568]

That is true, my first choice was cedar until I saw how much it cost.

[@rebecca2827]

Bidenomics

[@RonInAVan]

Nice video and nice planner, but the cost to build this is quite high with the price of pressure-treated lumber. 2x6x8 here are $7.58 and the 2x6x10 are $10.18 so to build one box is between $45 to $50, not sure what you would be able to sell them for today. Again nice project.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I think you could sell these for an easy $100

[@darlenebrackett3016]

Pressure treated? But I want to grow strawberries and a lemon tree. I didn't know it was pressure treated.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

You can grow food in pressure treated planters now. Back in the early 2000s they banned the use of arsenic in pressure treated lumber. You can also just grow in a pot too

[@MxMstrStve]

Yeah that's cool but why not cut the lines after you build it?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

It gets heavy and don't want to be cutting through nails

[@enterprise59]

Can't find the plans for this son.. wife would like this one.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Should be posting them on my website later today

[@WanderingHead91367]

Ugh. I don't like this project and how you deal with it. You made lots of errors dealing with pressure treated wood. You need great ventilation/filtration while working with the wood; you should have worn gloves to protect your hands; you should have worn enclosed dafety goggles; brad nails will corrode from the pressure treated chemicals; all tools, bits, and blades should have been wiped down. It's all about the chemicals used in the wood and I think you are misleading your viewers and exposing yourself to future health issues. Just because the material is cheap, doesn't mean that you won't pay for it (health) later.

[@schwartzmatthewe]

It’s a shame you’ve wasted your time here. That southern pine is going to warp like crazy. You’ll enjoy that box for maybe a week.

[@alexyanker3059]

My southern pine is still straight as our government . Sounds like may been swindled.

[@jefff6167]

Great build and fantastic demonstration. Thanks for taking the time to create such useful content. Also, thanks for keeping your project plans very affordable, much appreciated. 👍🇺🇸
