Great video! I'm putting together a planter box as a gift for my mother, and using this video as a basis for the project, with some small changes to make it unique. Great work and beautiful results!

Very detailed and straightforward video. Thank you so much for sharing! It's beautiful

Beautiful and simple!! Thank you!!

Love this.

Thank you guys, wonderful video and great description 💚🍀🌱🌿

Very nice garden bad I'm looking for ideas for my garden and this one is my favorite so far 😀

You guys are awesome i love you-re videos there very cool!!

Great job on the video. You both are so "easy" to watch and listen to.

Looking forward to making three of these for my family.

Nice. If you make one forgoing the the plastic, make sure you stick to simple unprocessed (aka raw) linseed oil for the wood. Varnishes, stains and most oils contain chemicals that can leech into soil and plants.

This is what I came to the comments to ask. Will the linseed oil keep the wood from rotting? I don't want to use a pole as I will be planting a garden in mine.

This is a really nice and beautiful build; sadly, I think the length pocket hole screws used are not load bearing enough for the overall weight of this build. After a heavy four day rain spell we had, my planters side wall bottomed out and the planks ripped from the pocket holes. Will need to re-do. Luckily I made two sets, but have yet to build the second one fully, so I can build the second (perhaps by forgoing the pocket holes, and/or adding additional support) if you get a lot of rainfall in your area, something to consider! Would still recommend the build because it’s very aesthetic, but may need some load bearing adjustments based on where you live.

I’m going to make mine into a victory garden & purchased a fabric liner that divides it into 8 sections for my vegetables. I too am worried about the weight… what adjustments did you make to solve the issue? Thanks.

@@colleenfysh-beckham8558 I opted on not having pocket holes and instead placing the end of the plank face to face with the leg for a face-face butt join and screwed each plank into the leg. This allowed each plank to carry some support and also allows for a stronger joint. This cuts down on the size a bit but feels much stronger. (So far so good) will update if anything comes up

I live in the south and get a lot of rain. If I built this, I'd add another piece of 2x4 under the bottom, attached to the legs, to support the bottom row of cedar. Otherwise you're hanging everything off 4 pocket hole screws attached to the sides.

I saw this a few months ago & was planning on using it, went back to look for it & was totally unable to find it in search. I had to dig up the plans I downloaded forever ago to remember your channel name to finally find it. Delisting & re-uploading onto a second channel definitely killed any SEO the video had!

@@WickedRandom I was searching like a few minutes before I posted. Even went through my liked videos but yeah obviously it was gone. Glad I happened to have the plans though! Love the turnout & will hopefully get around to building it soon. Hope the cedar fence pickets I got are thick enough though, my local stores don't carry anything as thick as the ones you guys used.

Question: if your planning to plant fruit and veggies, is it best to leave out the plastic layer?

Just finished building this and it turned out awesome! I am slightly concerned about the 2 bottom slats holding all the weight with pocket holes.. but so far so good!

Ya me too, just built one based on This design but was worried about all that weight so I ended up attaching a bottom brace lengthwise all the way across, screwed to the legs for extra support; hope yours is still holding, and hoping mine will too! 🤞

Update on my build, about a month later, everything feels good and the design came out beautiful. One thing I noticed is drainage seems to be less than expected so I would recommend really drilling some proper drainage holes. We just kept the hole in between the bottom floor slates (about an inch on each side of space) but that didn’t seem to be enough.

My bottom gave out. The weight after heavy rain caused one of the long planks to come off the 2x4 leg. A buddy of mine suggested using 4x4 legs and longer screws if I want to keep using pocket holes. I might try attaching each plank to each other using pocket holes also with a cross beam support underneath

Excuse me sir and madam, good video. How tall did you cut the vertical black piece?

Will the plastic hold to much moisture?? This is the one thing I’m stuck on

rough cut cedar is actually more expensive than s4s cedar

The author does like to from scratch, kzread.infoUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.

About how much to build this?

I have a question let’s say single person one wants one can they order it from you all ready to put together,just the woods,I’ll will get one and prepay for it

I have a couple of questions. First, how long is it? Second, and I’m honestly just wondering, why use cedar 2x4s when you paint over it with exterior paint? Again, I’m not trying to be a smart Alec I just want to know the reasoning over going with pine since it’ll be protected with exterior paint.

Cedar is moisture/rot resistant, pine, even if painted, is not. The paint will wear and wick the moisture=rot

Grave robbers are idiots to say the least

this must have cost almost $300 to make using cedar.

​@@andrewespinoza926Cedar is known to be natural resistant to rotting but it's pricey, and so is anything else such as cypress or redwood. Some are even more expensive. You can use regular pine, it just won't last quite as long. Cost-wise, you can build multiple pine beds/planters for the same cost as one cedar. Modern pressure treated wood is treated with something different than what was used 20 years ago, supposedly not harmful like the old stuff, but I haven't researched it much. I keep a jug of raw linseed oil to safely treat bare wood. I supposed one side could be stained and the other treated, for looks. Do not use boiled linseed oil though, they put heat and chemicals into that. It's fine for wood itself, but not to be put into places where food contact will occur.
