the pole planter is a larger version of the three picket planter plus a few extra boards in the center. this build requires a 4x4, either 6' or 8' long. a 2x4 and 6 pickets.
first I rip two pickets to 1 and three quarters. we wont be using all six stripes but I can always use them for mess-ups or boards that have nasty spots. cut eight pieces to 16" tall for the legs.
for the sides and bottom, stack two pickets, cut twice at 23" long, and once at 21-3/4". grab two more pickets and cut them down to 23-3/4" as well. i didnt stack mine cause im not so good at the mathssss. you will end up with eight 23-3/4" pieces, and four 24" pieces. and the legs we cut moments before.
its been a while guys....ohhhh Nail counterrrr! you guys can take a guess as to how many nails (excluding screws) this build will take. I havnt made one of these since last year, my guess is 95 nails. 80 for the three picket box, and I have 100 in the chamber. lets go!
before we start chopping up the 4x4 we are going to construct the shell of the planter box. take two of the 24 inch sides, run some glue down the sides; im using titebond 3, their only water proof exterior glue. fire in three nails into each board.
then, tip it up onto its end, run a line of glue, line up another leg and nail it into place. then repeat for the other side.
and thennnnn, repeat for the otherr side!
balance your two sides like this, apply some glue to the inside lip of the leg and nail in the two shorter 22 3/4" sides.
and repeat for the adjacent side.
for the bottoms, i line them up flush with the inside. i do mot glue them, most of it leaks out and it looks terrible when it dries. nail the two outer pieces into place, then one of the center boards. the last center board may need to be ripped down to size. then, rip it into place.
to hold up our 4x4 post, we need to cut two pieces of 2x4 to run along the bottom of our shell. I measure and cut my 2x4s to run perpendicular to the bottom boards of my box. this way I can nail into them from underneath and strengthen the overall bottom.
my 2x4s measured 22 in on the DOT. so I cut two pieces of those.
now that we have a completed shell, we need to measure and rip two pieces of 2x4 to your inside measurement, they should be 22-3/4 inches. but if your boards are bowed it may be a bit larger.

    I just need to say I appreciate that you are so willing to share your plans! I’m just a hobby woodworker, but you’re giving out plans that make you $$$ at will and I really believe that is at the heart of being a maker. If we all wanted to make a living off of this we could share the market; but not every maker will just share like you do. Love your stuff!

    Made one of these for a Mother's Day present using pre-stained fence pickets instead of cedar and a reclaimed pallet skid 4x4 and it turned out great! The post had some dinged up corners and cracks I cut it down to 5' so I ran it through the table saw to 45' the corners to give it a cleaner look, then gave it a light coat of stain to blend everything together. The whole project turned out great and she absolutely loved it! Thank you for posting a video that was so easy to follow!

    You would be amazed at the strength of the cedar boards. I took a similar planter and put scrap wood under the bottom boards, thin strip to support using glue and brad nails, I put a black contractor bag in it and used about 60lbs of concrete to support a 4x4. and for over a year now it has held up. I have 4 of them like that we have around our patio and have string lights on them. also in the summer time we hang humming bird feeders on them. very nice and relaxing.

    The bottom of the planter seems a bit under supported with just 18 gage nails. I think I'll add a support somehow, because it will likely be moved around. Possibly a trianglular nailer in the bottom corners. Thanks for everything! Great music ( vocals) too! 😊😊

    Nice concept. The central post is good enough to hold a light or not tightened string lights. The base of the post is not good at taking bending moment caused by the horizontal force at the top of the post, though. If you want it to hold a larger load, suggest to add cross shape supports near the top level of the planter to give horizontal support to the post at both directions.

One question about nails - do you think those bottoms will hold just on side nails & no glue, once dirt is put in and it is watered? I am wondering if some more fortification is warranted. Thanks and keep sharing more videos.

    You said you changed it from 24in to 23, so you didn't have a weird piece in the bottom. From a gardening perspective I would leave it at 24in and then space the boards out evenly with a small space in between so that it would allow for water drainage for the plants. It would also help it hold up better in the long run.

Looked pretty much the same except the color. LOL. I really like the idea of building about four of these and using them to string lights. Then maybe see if there’s a market for them. Ugh.

    Should last at least 3-4 years, by then the cedar box will turn from its reddish tint to grey, you can swap the inside 2x4 for a treated piece for better protection, but 3-4 seasons for even $100 (selling price) outlives any big box store purchased planter box :)

    Just one design question for the planter and I'm wondering if you've tested it for the support of the bottom pieces with soil. Are the brad nails enough to hold everything in place. I love the idea with hanging lights at the top its a nice design for a deck.

    How are you getting the planter to stay together? The cedar fence pickets I can get here in PA are almost like Styrofoam. They are not dense enough to hold on the the nails. The one planter I built looked good but completely disintegrated when I tried to put any weight on it. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

    @WhosTheVoss by green I don't mean treated. When I buy cedar pickets from lowes, I can get kiln dried (more expensive)or not kiln dried (cheaper), aka green. When building with the non kiln dried pickets, they are shrinking after building, leaving gaps between the boards. I brought them inside to dry a little, but I am still having issues with shrinkage. Thoughts?
