I,ve looked at so many designs and wow this is really cool, and so far the very best I have seen. Just as note this the first time I've even responded in a comment section. 2 Thumbs up!!!!!👌👍👍
Great build and fantastic demonstration. Thanks for taking the time to create such useful content. Also, thanks for keeping your project plans very affordable, much appreciated. 👍🇺🇸
I just got into woodworking and your videos are awesome! There are a lot of great woodworking content creators out there but I find your content the most enjoyable. Looking forward to your next video! Thanks for all that you do.
Zach what an amazing idea the best planter box I’ve see yet. Definitely going to make a couple of these for my mom and sister. Thanks so much for sharing
this is the best looking and simple planter box i have seen on youtube!!! thank you for the build video... also, thank you for having all your plans available for free on your website!!! God bless you!!!
Another banger man, love you’re stuff. Question about working with pressure treated wood though. Is it true I have to wait a month after purchasing for it to dry out before it can be stained?
I bought this wood about 2 weeks before I stained it so I would say no, but depends on how wet your wood is when you buy it. Worst comes to worst you could just apply a second coat of stain later.
@@BearMountainBuilds Thanks for the advice. Having a little trouble locating the plans for this build. I have been to your website and I have clicked on the link, but nothing am I missing something
Nothing beats our pine planters that measure 900mm x 900mm x 450mm that we buy from a local scrap wood retailer for R30.00. That’s less than $1.75! Slap a bit of stain on there, and you’re good to go for 2 seasons. Nice build nonetheless! 😉
@@BearMountainBuilds you assume they are flat. Most of them are warped on all 3 dimensions. I like your design but I think the assembly won't be without hiccups. But given it's an outdoor planter, maybe we don't need everything to line up.
I just bought this plan for $3.00 and one other one for $3 plus some free ones, from your website. Only got to download one free one. When it finished download I couldn’t get back to download page anymore. How is this fixed?
Nice video and nice planner, but the cost to build this is quite high with the price of pressure-treated lumber. 2x6x8 here are $7.58 and the 2x6x10 are $10.18 so to build one box is between $45 to $50, not sure what you would be able to sell them for today. Again nice project.
You can grow food in pressure treated planters now. Back in the early 2000s they banned the use of arsenic in pressure treated lumber. You can also just grow in a pot too
Ugh. I don't like this project and how you deal with it. You made lots of errors dealing with pressure treated wood. You need great ventilation/filtration while working with the wood; you should have worn gloves to protect your hands; you should have worn enclosed dafety goggles; brad nails will corrode from the pressure treated chemicals; all tools, bits, and blades should have been wiped down. It's all about the chemicals used in the wood and I think you are misleading your viewers and exposing yourself to future health issues. Just because the material is cheap, doesn't mean that you won't pay for it (health) later.
Great build and fantastic demonstration. Thanks for taking the time to create such useful content. Also, thanks for keeping your project plans very affordable, much appreciated. 👍🇺🇸
Beautiful design and look really solid. Must weigh more than my old Buick! Looking forward to the plans. Thanks for all you do Zach.
It's definitely not blowing away
Planter looks really nice, glad to see it’s completely different than what I’m seeing on RUclips and FB marketplace.
I,ve looked at so many designs and wow this is really cool, and so far the very best I have seen. Just as note this the first time I've even responded in a comment section. 2 Thumbs up!!!!!👌👍👍
Thanks for commenting on one of my videos!
With some different materials and some creative ideas you’ve doubled the value of those other planter boxes.
Beautiful! Don't have all the tools you have to do exactly what you did but it certainly gave me some ideas to try.
Great build and fantastic demonstration.

It's a Great looking planter box. Need to make a couple of these for the wife.

I really appreciate it!
I just built two of these with recycled lumber from an old fence!
Zach what an amazing idea the best planter box I’ve see yet. Definitely going to make a couple of these for my mom and sister. Thanks so much for sharing
Very nice 👍
Holy carp I will so be making a pair of these. My missus will love them.
Quick and easy and it looks great. This is such a great channel. Much appreciated.
this is the best looking and simple planter box i have seen on youtube!!! thank you for the build video... also, thank you for having all your plans available for free on your website!!! God bless you!!!
I might be getting a table saw soon and this seems simple enough to try! Thank you sir
Fast, simple and inexpensive to make! Looks great too
This planter is fantastic. Great build! Waiting patiently for the plans, and picked up a couple more on your website.
Should hopefully be posting them later today
Next level stuff sir, thank you! I'm finally going to invest a little money for a router table. They're not that much and this is the perfect excuse!
Great video love it. I really like how you used the router for the grooves rather the tablesaw as I see other people do.
Great video
Beautiful work ❤
Great looking build, my guy!
Good stuff, I enjoyed it. Gonna use the concept for something around the pool. I like that design.
Looks awesome!
Thanks man! The planter looks great
Beautiful build, not my style but applaud your work👏 Bravo 👍
Very nice!
Did you purchase that jig you used to square the edges during assembly?
I have the 90 degree corner clamps in the video description
I was thinking of using one by sixes but the grooves might not look as good.
I love that design and different from other planters.....Thank you ! How many 2x6 did you use ? Thank you
Sorry I just saw the answer. Thank you again
What program do you use to make your plans? I would like to evolve from pen and paper but don't know where to look.
I use adobe illustrator
Would there be an issue if I cut 3/8” slots?
It may change the spacing of the slots slightly
Nice project Zach! Thanks for pulling together the build.
What type of stain are you using on pre-treated wood?
I used varathane oil based stain in Gunstock. Then a poly top coat.
amzn.to/3yy1sDL
9:13 oops. It's on the bottom...........it doesn't matter. Nice build.
Zach, who makes the table top clamp system you use to keep assemblies square?
I'm using the Powertec T- track mounted into my table top amzn.to/4e8xIh7
and their bench stops amzn.to/3x5bCeJ
I add little rubber feet to the bottom of the planter so the wooden base can dry out and last longer.
It looks awesome. Do you apply any finish after staining it?
I applied crystal clear matte poly
I don't have a router, is it possible to do the router slots with my skil table saw?
I'd recommend doing two passes on a table saw per slot. you could do it with a skill saw but it would take awhile
@@BearMountainBuilds Thank you so much! Appreciate your quick replyy
@@BearMountainBuilds Great video and love the planter box!
What software are you using to make your plans? The cut plan section in particular is awesome!
Thanks! I use Adobe Illustrator
@@BearMountainBuilds Ha that’s even more impressive 🤣
I have a question, how heavy is it when it's finished without the dirt
It's pretty heavy. Probably 30ish lbs
Thanks for the reply
Another banger man, love you’re stuff. Question about working with pressure treated wood though. Is it true I have to wait a month after purchasing for it to dry out before it can be stained?
I bought this wood about 2 weeks before I stained it so I would say no, but depends on how wet your wood is when you buy it. Worst comes to worst you could just apply a second coat of stain later.
If I wanted to add some wheels is that possible? Love your work
You definitely could with a bit of tweaking to the design
@@BearMountainBuilds Thanks for the advice. Having a little trouble locating the plans for this build. I have been to your website and I have clicked on the link, but nothing am I missing something
How many 2 x 6's did you use, and are they 8ft or 10 ft. Trying to figure cost to build.
It requires either 6 8ft boards or 5 10ft boards
Nothing beats our pine planters that measure 900mm x 900mm x 450mm that we buy from a local scrap wood retailer for R30.00. That’s less than $1.75! Slap a bit of stain on there, and you’re good to go for 2 seasons.
Nice build nonetheless! 😉
Is this still possible without a router table?
Definitely! You can do the same thing on a table saw using a regular blade and making two passes per slot or use a dado blade
Looks very nice. Why so many fasteners, it feels like you could've used like 25%?
I like to make sure it won't come apart
I wish you accepted PayPal as a payment option in your plan store. Nice video.
Sorry, wish I could but this is what I'm limited to on my site
With this kind of lumber, its impossible to have things squared and level.
If you run the boards through the table saw on each side they will be square
@@BearMountainBuilds you assume they are flat. Most of them are warped on all 3 dimensions. I like your design but I think the assembly won't be without hiccups. But given it's an outdoor planter, maybe we don't need everything to line up.
I can't wait to attempt finding a straight 2x6 at Menards, Lowes, or the depot 😂
You got this!
I just bought this plan for $3.00 and one other one for $3 plus some free ones, from your website.
Only got to download one free one. When it finished download I couldn’t get back to download page anymore.
How is this fixed?
I'm not sure what happened. Feel free to send me an email to zach@bearmountainbuilds.com and I can share the plans you're looking for with you.
Oh boy. I can’t do this build lol. Router tables are rare
You can cut the slots on a table saw too.
Nice planter tbf
Yeah that's cool but why not cut the lines after you build it?
It gets heavy and don't want to be cutting through nails
There is no such thing as “inexpensive” pressure treated 2x6.
Pressure treated 2x6 is about 25 percent of the price of a cedar 2x6.
Especially in Bidens administration
That is true, my first choice was cedar until I saw how much it cost.
Bidenomics
Nice video and nice planner, but the cost to build this is quite high with the price of pressure-treated lumber. 2x6x8 here are $7.58 and the 2x6x10 are $10.18 so to build one box is between $45 to $50, not sure what you would be able to sell them for today. Again nice project.
I think you could sell these for an easy $100
Pressure treated? But I want to grow strawberries and a lemon tree. I didn't know it was pressure treated.
You can grow food in pressure treated planters now. Back in the early 2000s they banned the use of arsenic in pressure treated lumber. You can also just grow in a pot too
Can't find the plans for this son.. wife would like this one.
Should be posting them on my website later today

It’s a shame you’ve wasted your time here. That southern pine is going to warp like crazy. You’ll enjoy that box for maybe a week.
My southern pine is still straight as our government . Sounds like may been swindled.
Great build and fantastic demonstration.
