Deck Planter

Container gardening is becoming increasingly

popular for small properties and larger open gardens

or decks where a raised planter provides a focal

point and pleasant architectural relief. Planters or

raised beds with open bottoms allow you to control

soil conditions depending on your plantsÓ

requirements. A raised, deeper planter is also

perfect for layered plantings of bulbs and perennials.

And with a planter, itÓs easy to change the contents

from flowering plants to herbs, for example, as your

tastes and needs change. Raised planters or beds

are also easier to plant and tend to, a real benefit

for anyone with bad knees or backs.

The container planter in our project is made from

cedar. Pressure treated wood is fine for flowering

plants but should not be used if you plan to grow

vegetables. Different sized planters can be

constructed using the same construction detail. For

example, make a taller planter by adding to the leg

length and installing brace pieces between them.

The length and width of the planter can be adjusted

by changing the length of the rails. The depth of soil

in the planter can also be adjusted by placing layers

of Styrofoam on the floor of the planter.

1. Cut the corner legs, the upper and lower rails, top

trim, post caps, floor pieces, floor supports and the

vertical siding pieces to length.

2. Refer to the diagram, and mark the locations for

the screws on the four legs.

3. Using a 3/8" drill bit, drill holes at the screw

locations half-way through the 4" x 4" leg pieces in

order for the 3" screws to be countersunk to half the

thickness of the 4" x 4". A piece of masking tape, or

a mark 1-1/2" from the drill tip, will help to gauge

the depth of the holes. A drill press is ideal here.

4. Mark the locations for the rails on the legs.

5. Clamp one set of rails to the legs and fasten with

3" deck screws. Repeat for the other three sides.

6. Attach the vertical siding using 1-5/8" deck

screws. Keep the siding flush with the top rails.

7. Attach the 2" x 2" floor support pieces to the

bottom of the siding using 3" deck screws. Install

the floor pieces, leaving 1/2" between them for

drainage, and attach with 1-5/8" deck screws.

8. Attach the top trim pieces using 1-5/8" deck

screws, and the four post caps.

9. From 3/8" dowel, cut pieces 1" in length, and tap

them into the drilled holes in the legs flush with the

surface.

10. Line the box with landscape fabric using a staple

gun.

11. Sand and finish with a good quality outdoor

finish of your choice.
