- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2020
- What's Happening Everyone! In this video I build planter boxes for pressure treated 4x2 and 6x2 lumber. These are a simple build with a super strong construction. The design can be adapted to any size you can make them entirely from 4x2's if you want. I do not have a cutting list as you can make them to suit the space you have.

I’m still watching for two reasons: you have a great voice, and you said it would be simple, with only a miter saw. You have my attention, and hopefully I’ll do your build. Back to the vid…
Just bought my first Mitre saw. This will be my first project once the weather gets a bit warmer.
A project that most people can make without needing ridiculously expensive tools like so many other you tubers who seem to forget their audience. New subscriber here 👍
Exactly
Maybe you weren't paying attention, (obviously)... he mentioned you could use other types of saws that could be used to include the hand saw for all of you unsuccessful, unskilled, low wage leftist viewers making ridiculous, unnecessary comments who no doubt also would have complained how long the video was because he did it as you poor, unsuccessfuls at life will have to do them, the rest of us who didn't make poor life choices, knows that electric saws are not "ridiculously expensive" at all, What happened to you two?
@@easygoing302 What happened to you in life for you to be so angry and bitter? Like WTF? I feel sad for you, must be hard getting through each day.
Very true!!
Yeah it is ridiculous, you start watching a DIY project and they use 30 tools in the first 3 minutes.
"Yes my legs are very white I'm a ginger-haired Irish man what other colour would they be, so lets crack on" Hahahaha XD
❤
Your legs are better than some I've seen! Great planters you've made!
I'm a wheelchair user so obviously bending down to the ground to plant stuff isn't the easiest thing to do, unless, like me, you can get out of your chair and sit on the floor, raised flower beds like this are great for that situation, and they look good.
Thank you really appreciate your efforts
😊
The algorithms are scary! Had just said to wife I wanted to build planters all over front driveway. I've never had planter vids pop up before nor have I searched for them. This is perfect and perfectly timed out of the blue. Thanks!
google nest is listening to you...
@@copeyhagen4249 and your phone service provider, Amazon, Facebook, any app you download, your emails, text messages, your ISP, bank records, geographical data, and even your grocery rewards cards. But hey, at least we get relevant videos recommended to us 🤷♂️
I just searched planters and got here organically. It can happen!!
Quality. Exactly what I'm needing to build for my garden.
Solid Gold!!!. No messing about - simple and Clever.
Absolutely love the video; especially your teaching style. I'm getting ready to build several of these raised garden beds and your 'how to' video has definitely put me at ease.
Been building shelving and work benches like this for years. Simple but effective and very sturdy. Never thought of doing the herb and veggie garden boxes in the same manner… great idea. Built a couple today and made a corner unit to join them, turned out great.
So glad my phone listened to me lately... Happy to see your build in my feed today. Ready for the summer project!! Cheers!!
Something extra to add based on two box planters I assembled, if you want to add a little airflow so the butted wood doesn't hold onto moisture, put a 1-2mm spacer between each slat. It will break up the look of the sides and add an interesting visual element while allowing the air to carry out any water between the wood. And if like me you built them to take a container they will add a few mm clearance for the top sleeves.
Do you have a rough diagram? I like the idea for my first EVER build.
Greetings from Germany. Now that the last of the snow is gone I can finally spend some time in the garden.
Fantastic project, brilliant craftsmanship and skill, loved it 👍👍
That flat base really does help, my shed floor is up, down and all over the shop.
This one is the gangsta of diy flower beds. You rock. Your awesome. Stay safe
Great video
Everything you need to know and nothing you don't need to know.
Great video! You're very easy to listen to and the planters look awesome! I'll be building a few of these over the next couple of weeks! Thanks again!
One of the simplest planter instructions I have seen for anovice like me. Great vid thanks
I built a 3ft x 6ft planter for my mother and she loves it!!! Thanks John
THANK YOU! This is super easy and I appreciate your explanation. I will be building them very soon.
Great stuff. Really thorough, helpful, easy to follow. I'm gonna use all of this and make a box just a bit shorter. Really appreciate the explanation of the design / gap for the 2 x 6 ends. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
I like those planting beds perfect
Simple is best!
They look great will definitely make a couple for the patio. Will put a smile on the wife's face.
I just got through building one without a bottom. I'm thinking of building another one. I been watching so many videos about building wood planters. This video is far the best, Thank you!
Perfect for a house warming gift for family! Thank you for making me look good. I can put labor of love for family. 👍 New subscriber.
Update 5/1: Success! I did all the cutting in one evening; packed the car and roadtrip with just a few tools and screws. Built in hours and shared a beer! I'm sending U a beer. Cheers from New Mexico!
Just built 3 today for school with 4x2 and 6x1 for walls. RUclips has its uses. Thanks alot
Very nice as a beginner at woodworking your build is something that I would like to make for the yard, thanks for sharing.
I loved it I will be happily building this week end with the onslaught of spring next week
Great simple design and construction! You’ve inspired me to give it a go
Very impressive, I am sure they will last for years.
Thanks for this! Great design and easy to build.
Thank you once again Green for your tips and details, much appreciated.
Great job John. It really helped that you provided visuals AND explained as you went along. I can’t wait to get to work. Thanks again.
No problem glad it was useful
Thanks,simple design, but look amazing, thanks for sharing
Nice planters, easy to follow instructions. I make my planters from large plastic boxes. On the outside of the plastic box, I attached 4 x 2 , cut to size, and clad in Pressure treated Shiplap, and top off with a 6 x 2 mitre cut. Add draining holes, and some rocks stones in the box to aid drainage
Really enjoy your channel. The tutorials are not too long and offer great, detailed information and instruction. Great stuff, thank you.
Glad you like them!
Just built the first of three planters today following your instructions. They look superb! Many thanks for this video
You are very welcome!
Brilliant. Loved the video, well explained. Planters look awesome. Thanks.
Nice job❤🎉
This was my first time watching you. Thank you for showing us how to build boxes. I'm wanting to build some planners for my wife and I wasn't sure where to start and your instructions were very simple and I appreciate that. Plus I really enjoyed your excitement of doing what you're doing. That was fun to watch. I'm sure there's others out there that can make comments about the way you do things but as far as I'm concerned you did a great job and you help me start out with the basics and thank you.
You are most welcome
That is one quality product - well done JMc.
Thank you for this!! I made one 8ft long. From start to finish 1 1/2 hour. So easy. The results are absolutely beautiful!
You are most welcome! Glad it worked for you.
Ty bud I made an 11 foot mitre station after your video works awesome going to give the planters a try keep it up
Best DIY for planters I've seen yet. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Great video John. Well explained. They look great and quite sturdy. 👌👍
Glad I came across ur video that's my summer project for this year thanks for sharing.look forward to making with ur grand idea
Very Nice John, love the way you construct them.
👍👍👍
Just got through building 3 of these boxes love how they turned out. Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome!
These are perfect to make as my patio border! Thanks for the how-to-tutorial!
Glad you like them! check out my planters with the bench seat too!
Absolutely fantastic!
Thanks. Really understand how to build these from this video. I will get to work.
You are welcome, glad it was helpful.
What a relaxing video. Gonna give this a go tomorrow!
Great video John thanks
Excellent. This will give me inspiration to start my little project. Great job.
I just got done recycling part of a shed into three garden boxes and the same day you post a garden box video, almost in sync. Nice proportions those will look great.
Great minds think alike. Lol
Today I built a planter box with different dimensions (5'x2'). Thank you so much, ths exactly what I wanted to create, the video was very helpful.
Great I'm glad you found it useful
Cracking idea... gonna give this a go myself I think
Thank You! I used your video to build the exact box yesterday. Even if I could post a pic, it'd be pointless - it's your box at my house ;-) Thanks again!
I freakin love this guy. Awesome project, will be making two for the lady soon
Love this! thanks for sharing John
Looks really nice!
Thanks. Will do here in Canada. Very helpful.
Well done John great job.
All in half a days work :) - looks awesome
Nice work John. I just replaced stair stringers on my deck that were put in seven years ago. About 1/3 of the pressure treated lumber rotted because I never sealed it...big mistake. Your planters look great but I would paint them. I live in Massachusettes and the seasons can raise havoc on unsealed wood. I definitely like the job you did on the planters..
I used scrap wood for mine, but used your design. Turned out great! Thanks for the clear instructions and well-done video.
Nice! Always good to recycle.
Great video! Beautiful planters!! TY!!
Great video, I built one for my wife and it was very simple and it looks great.
Thanks for the video and regards from NY
Marco
Glad it helped
Thanks so much exactly what I was looking for my wife's garden
I'm glad it was useful.
great stuff! Going to build these next week. Thanks for the video 🙌
I've never made a planter, but want too as for the first time we have our own garden now. watching your video has really helped. I will be giving it a try over the next few days while I collects what I need. thank you so much. :) fantastic job !!!!
No problem! Happy to help
Best DIY I’ve seen for a planter box. All others use super expensive tools. Nice and simple enough for me to try out myself. Thanks!
Glad you found it useful!
I agree!
Those planter boxes caught my eye for the simple reason that I made those planter boxes in early 2017 out of pallets and I planted some asparagus plants in them. The planter box and the asparagus are still going strong after so many years.
Thanks for producing a video that is simple to understand.
Pressure treated is absolutely the incorrect product for planters designed to produce food for human consumption. Natural or cedar is the only safe means by which to construct a garden planter for the production of food. Basic stuff......
@@dennisjohnston2914 That's the real reason for the liner - to prevent treatment chemicals from leeching into the soil.
I make mine exactly the same way apart from my timber is premium 140mm wide decking board, and I rip a board in half to make the legs in the same way as yours but I biscuit joint mine to eliminate screw holes... enjoyed your video.
Thank you for doing this demonstration. I am going to make them as dividers in my front garden to separate garden and car spaces 👌
I'm glad you found it useful
Very nice planter boxes. I mill my own cedar for my boxes. I use Boiled linseed oil to protect them. I makes them pop.
Nice! Gonna build one for mom tomorrow
Thank you John.
Your video was helpful and informative.
Good to hear Michael
Love, love, love this box..made one 41" long for smaller area and have been contracted to make one for sale...yay
Many thx...imma builder...lol
Brilliant! I'm glad it was a useful video.
Just what I’m looking for!
Just build a 10' version of this planter box today. Thanks for the great video!
I so glad the video was helpful!
I've built a few of these with and without pocket holes on the bottom.. the ones without pocket holes seem to crack the wood when it dries out a bit, but it doesn't hurt it structure wise and it's hidden on the bottom. great video.. great presentation and content ;)
If you can clamp and then pre-drill a hole into the section that will be receiving the screw it may reduce the cracking from the screws pressure.
Really nice when lumber prices come down I'm going to build them.
Great Build!!!!!
Thanks John these look so sturdy exactly what I’ve been looking for in a idea
No problem Adam. Glad it was useful.
Excellent “kit list” at the beginning of the video, really helpful.
Glad you think so!
Excellent tutorial & I love your workshop!
Thank you very much!
Modified the dimensions a bit but made these following this video and they came out amazing! Thank you so much. Looks great outside my business.
Nice! I'm glad the video was helpful
Brilliant! I’m about to make these now. Thank you
Have fun!
Love this video. Thank you.
This is excellent... I have a bunch of cedar left over and need to make these, best design I found! Thanks!
Very welcome!
Thank you John, that'll be my summer project!
Glad it was useful Nicolas.
Cheers John, built 2 using spare decking
Nice design! Thanks for the video!
Great video, great workmanship but most of all, great accent. The Irish accent is always happy-sounding which is what we need over here in England at the momment.
I like hearing him say thirds or as it sounds to me, turds.
Really like this, I'll be making them when it warms up a little. Thanks!
You are most welcome
Great video. Very easy to follow. I made a large (2.4 metre long) box and it already has been planted and in use.
Glad it was helpful
