Simple Decking Planter

In this episode I am making a simple planter using some old decking boards and some left over fencing.
I'm filling my decking planter with herbs including Rosemary, Golden oregano, lemon thyme and Purple Sage.
Hope you enjoy and remember to like and subscribe!

Well done mate. Straight forward, no fuss. Thanks.

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

No problem. Glad you liked it.

[@daronbranston9757]

Thanks bud nice and easy instructions even I can follow

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

You're welcome!

[@brionfurnell2319]

Exactly what I was looking for. Pre made, that would be £70, and would come unlined. Lovely, simple tutorial. Thank you.

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much the video. Feeling brave to make this planter box

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Nice good luck

I like the intro, eating bbq'n, making stuff and drinking beer. You're my kind of bloke to hang out with.

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Thanks Anthony, appreciate it!

Great stuff, Matt. That's my job for the weekend. Thank you.

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Hope it went well!

@@MATTDOESSTUFF2020 Thanks to you, yes. I've made half a dozen in the last few weeks. :)

Great video mate! Coming from over the pond in Chicago... I just bought the lumber and 1x1's spindles, purchased green treated wood and some purple paint! Doing a pet project for my girl's mom she loves to garden and what better way to get her more motivated? Lol.

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Thanks for the comment mate. This was a good project and for not a lot of cash you get something that looks good in the garden. And Purple will really brighten it up! hope it goes well.

Hi Matt I'm so excited to be making my own thanks very much, once I've m as de this I want to make a huge one.

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Nice one Floyd, I think for something relatively simple they look great in the garden and don't cost much to put together. Good luck with the big one!

[@jacquelinehunt6373]

Thanks dude I'm new to this so this has really helped me but please put some shoe's on i don't want you to get injured and keep doing more helpful videos 😊

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Thanks, I'll pop some shoes on next time!

[@MrMully48]

Hi Matt, did you change the design as I noticed that at 3.00 the end pieces are on the inside of the stretcher boards and at 3.30 they are on the outside of the stretcher, I only ask as I will attempt this build and wondering which way the end boards are easier to fix.

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Hi there, i think i did alter it but that was only so i could make it longer to fit the final location. It dossnt matter which side the support are on as the are only used to hold the sides together. Hope that helps

[@ceciliaeastwood8947]

Hi Matt, really great tutorial. I do all my stuff by hand with a handsaw and usually use an Irwin Jack. What is the name of the saw you are using? It looks good and sharp. Mine is getting a bit blunt so I think it is time for a new one.

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Thanks Cecilia, sometimes its just as easy by hand. The saw im using in this video is a stanley fat max tenon saw.

[@technopreneurialminds]

Is that a plastic bag you inserted in the planter box?? If not, what’s the name of the material. Thanks!

[@colinhamilton9714]

Glad to see even though you have a load of expensive tools you dont mind breaking out the hand tools now and again. Also, great use of offcuts and proper smart looking.

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

I like my expensive tools but sometimes all you need is a few simple tools.

[@patriciagleve4784]

Lovely job - just what I want to plant my runner beans this year, and another one to get my herbs all in one place. Thank you!

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Thanks Patricia, I'm glad you found the video useful and i hope the beans and herbs grow well

[@johnw2758]

Good job......nice to see someone not using the circular saw for a change 🙂

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Thanks 👍

[@andykuzemka2936]

Tidy job mate. Looks like you caught the sun a bit though!!

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

haha, yeah defo got a little sun doing this one!

[@coombsy1986]

Great use of your leftover "deck" mate. Used the length really well 👌

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Haha glad you like my deck mate

[@abelvasquez7165]

Nice job. Going to try a project like this for my house!

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Thanks, hope it goes well!

[@GC-wj6ni]

Great video,I hope you do more ,your latest seems to be a year old?

[@diywithemma]

Super handy

[@HomeNorth]

That looks really smart. Well done.

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Thanks, appreciate it

[@diabetic_friendly_kitchen]

What screws do you use please?

[@LoveBoatJoe]

I imagine he probably uses decking screws as it is decking he’s using and they’re designed to work outside in the weather.

[@jameslaw3740]

No 4 x 2 's??? Awesome job 👍 👍 🇨🇦

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Thanks, I thought I'd leave the 4 x 2s out this time!

[@williamdavies6241]

GREAT JOB , THANK YOU.

Great video

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Thanks appreciate it

[@lilmonkey9919]

This is brilliant! I'm currently learning Carpentry in College and I'm going to give this a ago. I'm glad you used a hand saw to cut your timber and not a eletric saw. Also, where did you get the Timber from? 😊

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Thanks, appreciate the feedback and sorry for the slow response. I got my timber from a mixture of places as it was leftovers from previous projects, i think the decking was from wickes and the treated 3x1s and 2x1s were from a local fencing supplier

[@DAMNAPE1]

Nice one Matt well done mate.

[@MATTDOESSTUFF2020]

Thanks 👍
