    How to Build a DIY Planter Box with hidden drainage. This wooden raised planter box is great for flowers or use it as a raised garden box to grow herbs or veggies. And there is hidden drainage to divert the water and keep the lower cedar shelf clean and dry.

      Really good stuff! If I could offer some advice though, it's not a good idea to have a glove on your left hand whilst using a drop saw...in a mishap your skin will rip and hopefully you will pull away. A glove on the other hand will catch and pull your hand into the saw. I don't mean to patronise but I can't see that and not say something. Hoping this is recieved well. Cheers. Ciarán

    I just built one of these with my girlfriend. She’s been planting so much, I modified the dimensions to make it bigger and since it’s going on our balcony with minimal drainage, I added a bucket/tray holder for the water to drain into and not get all over our floor.

    Don't think I didn't notice you had all Ridgid power tools to do your woodworking long before you brought up that they're a sponsor. I think you're the only woodworking channel I've come across in the last 5 years that uses all Ridgid tools (read, no Ryobi).

    Ever think about creating a planter box with plexiglass sides and then a removable wood panel siding on all 4 sides? By removing a wood panel siding then you could see the growth of the plant through the plexiglass. I don’t know if it’s possible, it’s just an idea I just wonder if you would ever do a project like that.

    Love the drainage concept. Are there any issues with using the plastic lining causing moisture buildup that will harm the herbs? I know some will drain, but there will not be any air circulation.

    • @joymiramontes9051

    Your planter box is one of the nicest I've seen on RUclips. And you have done an excellent job with this video. I will be making something like this, but am concerned about expansion and contraction with the sides and legs glued and screwed as you've done. How is your planter holding up?

    • @mykolashatkovskyi576
      @mykolashatkovskyi576 3 года назад

      One question.
      Does it make sense to replace your wood with the cheapest pine OR even plywood stripes AND cover with some oil or poly protective liquid? Just to make the project cheaper and eligible for multiple repeating? Cause I'm considering to make a sort of Planter Box Garden in my backyard. Wouldn't it be looking cheap with pine/plywood?

    @haroldclark4485 4 года назад +3

    Exceptionally beautiful build! Question: I don't understand the fabric? It's under the plastic and how is it doing anything to block soil? I think it's to stop saturation around the four holes. Yet the holes are over the PVC?

    I really really need to get into wood working. I suffered a work injury in 2013. 3 surgeries later I am in worse shape now. I am on disability and because I can not work I also suffer from depression. Wood working has always been a passion of mine. Being that i am off work and did not receive any money for the first 2 years of my disability I had to sell a few of my more valuable tools. The only real saw I managed to keep is my Ridgid 12" mitre saw. Now that I receive a little disability amount plus my wife's small income I need to get back into wood working again. Living in Canada where tools are really expensive it makes it tough but I keep looking through the local buy and sell I am hoping to find a table saw plus some other wood working tools so I can start to get some sanity back. I was used to working around 60 hours a week when i was employed to nothing makes me a little stir crazy. I have even tried talking to Home Depot, Ridgid and other tool companies to see if I could get some tools for a cheaper price " not that they owe it to me", I thought I would try. Unfortunately that did not get me anywhere. Anyways sorry to talk about my life on this channel, at least I get to watch channels like Brads and have some ideas when I can get back into it.

    @tacooflove6175 4 года назад +1

    I’m gonna try and make this here soon but my modifications would be to angle the slats to the water flows to the drain and the other is to use gravel at the bottom then soil to help with drainage as others have complained about root rot and I have bird netting to keep them away so I may add two poles up the back to staple the netting too 🤔
