Materials / Build List;
He lists everything gradually throughout the video, so grab your pencil and paper and enjoy. If you have to re-watch; more views are the best way to repay his kindness anyways. There are lots of great details in there from someone experienced in making. I know from a little experience myself that every little thing he tells us in the video has importance. I think the only things he doesn't mention is that the screws are torx head (not vital, but great for speed and not stripping like phillips but if you have exterior phillips, by all means...) and exterior grade (vital). I wouldn't overspend on the screws. Get a cardboard box like the one you see him use; you can buy expensive ones in plastic containers that may be worth it if you are building a something like a deck, but they'd almost certainly outlast this box since it's not safe to seal like a deck. I put food-safe oil on the outside of my cedar box just to slow down the graying. It will rot from the inside out eventually.
I don't waste my time on videos that don't have a cut list and a materials list and plans. There are too many videos out there, and I don't want to waste my time.
@@MCLBC This is the best one I’ve seen. It’s by far the lowest amount of money spent for the largest amount of plantable area. Have you found a better one? He doesn’t owe you a thing; a video let alone a cut list. You sound entitled. Maybe you should appreciate the work he put into this video that cost you nothing.
@Refiner Similitude I appreciate the many who post cut and material lists. If you're going to post a "How to," then make it one. 🤡
@@MCLBC So, I was right then.
@@RefinerSimilitude Not only are you wrong, you're butthurt and triggered!
Meanwhile, I'm in the middle of my first planter build from another video that had a cut and material list! 💪
Nice video man, ignore all these people complaining about a cut and material list. That's the simple stuff. I mean obviously you use fence plaques. The real money is in the design you did, which will have the ideal amount of dirt or pots. Also nice of you to share some wisdom or two while you're building it.
This dude dont mess around. Power handled that project like a pro, incredible job. Also appreciate the tool tip and the time you took, good work!
I made one of these garden boxes. Your directions were perfect and I cannot wait to make more of them.
I just put one of these together yesterday and followed your instructions it turned out awesome I was very surprised how sturdy it ends being, I just wanted to say thank you
You're welcome!
Your right don’t sweat the small stuff for outside furniture. Thanks 🇨🇦👍
Great video. I used deck screws (no rust) and also a waterproof glue. Built these before and they last for years. Finnish with what you want. I never do.
New subscriber here! Thanks for this tutorial! 👍🏻 I'd love to try and tackle it myself! To buy one is so expensive...as with EVERYTHING nowadays. 🙄😮💨 Plus, if all goes well, I could make and sell them! I'd LOVE to see how they look after you've torched them! I bet they're incredible!! Thanks again for sharing this!! 🫶🏻
Few potential issues, first you need the cut some boards on the backside of the legs. In framing referred as jack studs. When this bed is filled with loam, eventually the weight will cause failure with this. The screws are for fastening purposes, nut for structural support. Cedar is a great choice for the project as far as its outdoor qualities, but is brittle and not a good structural wood. With that being said, I would also use cedar with just some structural fixes in the fabrication. Also using and outdoor type of adhesion will help with strength.
Very nice - making two this spring - thanks!! Wish I lived closer- I’d buy yours 😁
Nice job, buddy. Just gave me a project to do this weekend. Thanks
Thank you for this. We needed a planter box but didn’t want to pay a bunch for one. Watched a lot of vids, this one was easy to follow, uncomplicated l, and as someone who is a total zero with this kind of stuff, I was able to make a box in about 3 hours and under 100 bucks in materials (California prices). Good work on the video thank you so very much for putting in the time to make this.
You're welcome, good to hear!
thanks
I like the way you work..I’m doing this.
I just use 2x6 so called kiln Dryden spruce. It’s fine. Thanks 🇨🇦👍
Im a grower look at the pots your plants are coming from their probably root bound already so make sure your building a box a little larger than pot your plants are already in? If you’re plant in 10or12 inch pot build something double the pots size or larger
Thumbnail made it look like a “build your own coffin” video, lol.
Great Job Chris. 👍🏻
Liked / subscribed.
Nice.
I’ve got everything I need to start this, except the one and a quarter inch screws…back to the store. Thank you so much for a great video instructions. I I did not hear what you used for the rails that hold the side to side bottom pieces of the planter; what did you use for those rails? Did you rip more fence pickets for the rails? Thank you for your answer.😊
I just ripped a picket into 3 equal strips
How long before the bottom boards blow out do to weight of the dirt
Hi. I love the design. Super pretty. Surprising my wife. But i can’t imagine this holding a 1000lbs. Love to know if anyone’s filled it yet. But since I like it my “ idea” is underneath after I placed it where I want, I’m going to make like a rectangle shape underneath of it made of 4x4s and 2x4’ or 2x6’s to hold the weight of the dirt. But I’m no construction guy. Anyone has better idea please share. 😊
Did the fence come with a bottom rail, or did you add that? If you added that, was that a 1x2 pine?
I ripped a single picket into roughly 1 3/4 strips.
NICE VIDEO BUT NO MATERIAL LIST , WOULD BE NICE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS NEEDED
I just thumbs down and move onto the videos that have them. Nor do I subscribe...
He uses the exact same fence boards/wood for the whole video.. nothing else.. are you all that dense?
He even says inch & a quarter screws..
Stop yelling🙉
Nice video. 2 questions. After dirt is added they’ll be heavy. Do you feel the legs are strong enough? ( as opposed to 4x4’s) 2. In other videos I’ve watched some people commented about some center support for them bulging out. Thanks and excellent instructions/ video!
The legs are plenty strong, to support the weight of a filled box. The only failure point I can see is pushing or pulling laterally against the planter. 4x4's would just increase the cost unnecessarily imho.
Jerry i used a 2x3 in the center at the top to keep it from pushing out the sides in the middle.
@@madrosewoodworks631 yea I believe you. I just wanna see someone fill it with 2000 pounds of dirt. I’m just going to have 4 - 4x4’s cut with 2x4’s underneath for extra support. As far as money it’s going to cost me probably $150 just for the soil. Ha. How much is a tomato? Thanks for responding.
@@tmoomoo42 yes. I think I’m going to just connect 2 of the cedar picks as one and connect them in the middle at the bottom under the dirt.
Thank you for the idea.
i see this failing after a couple years when the cedar loosens up. dirt is heavy but wet dirt is even heavier. i used 4x4 and don’t regret it. that box fully loaded if someone or something where to hit that box to the side it would come crashing down with those pickets being the support.
It would be difficult to be moved probably better to build in 3ft wide instead?
🥰🥰🥰
Why torch it if its made from cedar? Just for looks?... Nice job by the way. Thanks
Mostly looks, as I don’t thoroughly char the surface as in true Shou Sugi Ban techniques.
Great Video. What kind of the 1'' screw are you use?
Coated deck screws from Menards.
im going to go buy wood tomorrow but im uncertain to what boards to buy for this, can you give me a list of the boards size to buy.. thank you
Have you finished the video for finishing these? What clear product do you use after burning them?
Really curious to see one finished with the burning technique...
Yes, would like to see that video on finishing also
Hello I was also wondering about the burning and finishing technique as well. Will you have a video soon by chance. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
Why did you find picket boards in such great shape?
Menards usually has a fairly good selection. The trick is to wait until they restock for the spring…
What screws are you using? I'm having a hard time finding 1" exterior screws outside of Lowe's.
Try Menards, that’s where I typically buy mine.
Why do you press soooo hard when putting your screws in?
how many pickets are needed for 1 bed?
Perfect planks don’t exist sixty years of experience told me that, wet , dry expansion treated non treated all places a roll in building
will these hold about 125lbs of soil? I plan on lining with 4ft wide landscape fabric as well.
It holds me, and I weigh 200lbs...
@@madrosewoodworks631 perfect, just what I needed to know, thanks
Maybe my calculations are wrong, but this would be holding over 1000lb of soil at about .5 cubic yd.. Will this hold?
@@htown860 ha. Funny. I’m finishing this build myself now. Was going to make it a lil wider. Maybe 34 inches. And I’ve also made mine 3 pickets tall. As in googling it says vegetable plants like at least 12 + inches. I am honestly afraid to fill this now. That’s alotta fucking weight.
Yeah I have a client that wants six of these... I don't want to build them only for them to fail. But if I have to use thicker material, my original quote will be too low.
Coming sense pending how bug you want it?
Big
Recommend using glue too (TB3)?
No glue used. If you wanted to, you'd probably need a construction adhesive or exterior rated glue
Where can I get the plans for this build. Or how tall are the legs?
Legs are 30 inches tall.
How many fence boards per planter?
Fifteen 6 foot pickets should get the job done.
@@madrosewoodworks631 So 14 if you don't have the ability to rip them to get the bottom rail and have to go with the pre cut firring strips?
How well do the fence pickets stand up as legs?
I have a 2x3 version in my backyard, two years no problems. I wouldn’t recommend dragging them around though…
@@madrosewoodworks631 Thank you.
Mind sharing what screws (brand, retailer) you used?
Gold triple coated deck screws from Menards
Are these 5/8th fence pickets?
Yes, they are.
@@madrosewoodworks631 seems like 1” 1/4” screws come through the other end when screwing the two pieces together?
@@codyshelcusky7284 the 1 1/4 screws are used only to hold the corner pieces together for the 4 legs. All face screws are 1".
Did anyone get a approximate amount pickets needed to build one of these?
He said 14 boards, but that's based on size of the planter. Clearly with his style it would be limited by the picket size you use.
Great project, terrible youtube thumbnail. Had a hard time going back and finding it.
Have a finishing vid? Didn't see one
No, not yet. I keep forgetting to break out the camera...
@@madrosewoodworks631 I'm building your planter tonight and ordered a torch lol thanks for the video!!
what is the width of the planter? Is it 24 or 30 inches?
24 inches
How much do you sell them for?
$160.00
How many planks do I need to get?!?
15 six foot pickets
@@madrosewoodworks63115 make 2 or 1 of the raised bed?
Nice project, too much talking, and maybe fast forward through some of the repetitive steps. We really don't need to watch you drive 3 dozen screws into boards.
Dude you talk too much you lose interest when people talktoomuch!
