Building a planter box is an easy, fun project that can be built in a few hours but will provide years of attractive use. Because the YellaWood planter box plan is so simple, you can build several planter boxes in a day or weekend. Use them as enclosures for potted plants, growing any flower, vegetable, fruit or herb you like.

The planter box plan can easily be modified to build a bigger box to house several plants or customized to fit a specific space. It features effortless joinery reinforced with waterproof glue, exterior-grade screws and galvanized-finish nails. These, when coupled with a weatherproof seal, create a durable container to house and protect plants for years.

The DIY planter box looks great on the deck or in the yard and is the perfect size for growing a single tomato plant or a few small patches of herbs. You can even bring the planter indoors during colder months and enjoy fresh-grown herbs or vegetables year-round. (Place it on a plastic tray or boot mat to catch any water that may drip down through the weep holes.)
