Elevated Planter Box Plans
Hello everyone! I am super excited to share my Elevated Planter Box Plans with you today!
I am sharing the building plans here and a full picture tutorial over at Remodelaholic as my contributor post, so be sure to check out both to get all the awesome details!
I have been wanting a tall planter box for a long time. I personally hate bending over and pulling weeds and having it up off the ground also helps with the rabbits wanting to eat my fruits and veggies!

2- 1x2's @ 24'' long point to long point ends cut at 45 degrees, ends not parallel (top boards ends)
I also choose to add hardware cloth over the supports to help with the soil staying inside of the box but still allowing for drainage. Be sure to see my contributor post for photos of how I did this.
See how easy that was?! It really is a quick project and looks so nice! I hope you make your own!
Now don't forget to check out my picture tutorial at Remodelaholic, trust me I give lots of great tips in those, and you can see my building process, plus more finished photos!

My mother-in-law has made these several times for her garden, and she swears by them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this with us on the #HomeMattersParty. We hope to see you when we open our doors at 12AM EST on Fridays.
Oh this would be great to have. No bending over to pick veggies, and being elevated like this maybe the ants would stay out. I have a problem with ants getting in my pots that sit on the ground. That for sharing your plans! Pinning!
ReplyDeleteI always love to see the things you make!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with SYC.
Oh so nice! no bending and probably those pesky weeds can't get this high but if they did who cares - weed while standing! awesome!
