Once a week I upload a new DIY video.
If you want to get in touch with a business inquiry, shoot an email to mamawantstobuild@gmail.com
I’d like to do exactly how you did it. How much did it cost to buy the wood ? I’m not sure how you were able to do it for $40?
Awesome! Way to go. Found a good DIY. Thanks for posting
What did you put inside of them to hold the plants? Was there a large trough planter bin inside or did you just put the plants in their existing pots right inside the box?
Awesome job I am looking to do the same for my patio
I love the video and will subscribe for sure but wondering if you could slow down just a bit on your explanations or edit in a way that allows us to take in the information for a beat without having to pause and rewind 100x? Thanks for the great insight once again.
super cute!! i need some like this too! i love the idea but theres so much wood involved! i’d have to make a list before i go to home depot to actually buy all this! then rewatch this video like a thousand times! ; ) definitely worth a shot though!
I use Woodprix plans for all my joinery. Google and try it out.
Feeling inspired by your video. Purchased my first home 10 months ago and want to build this for my covered patio. I don’t have the power tools, would a hand saw be a pain in the butt to work with for this project? Thanks!
Does anyone know the height of this planter?
Curious about the choice I’m height of the boxes … I’m not sure why they are that tall, regarding plants growing but also isn’t there a higher risk of these tipping easily with weight inside?
I made two of these! It took me two days, by myself. No previous experience, it was my first time using a circular saw!! They turned out awesome! I wish I could give you a hug, they look beautiful in front of my house!
Love these planter boxes! What kind of plant containers would work with this plan?
Made 2 planter boxes, a 4×2 & 2×2. Used 2×3 inch posts and 6 foot pine pickets. Nails, stain. Total cost $78.
You are the answer to all my question…thanks for the videos very helpful
No Thanks 🤔
Dont use pressure treated lumber if you are making planters for vegetables or herbs, it will leech in the soild very toxic..
My wife and I loves your planters.
We’re starting to make the today. Mahalo!
Can’t WAIT to try this project!! I was wondering- do you happen to also have a written version of your instructions. I have a bit of a hearing impairment and it’s a little tricky processing all of the instructions through closed captioning. Just thought I’d ask :). So excited to have found this channel and I can’t wait to watch the rest of your vids!
I would not use deck stain if it is vegetable garden. Just in case any viewers plan to do something similar. Stain can lead out side the soil.
Where do you buy your wood. Home Depot’s 5′ pickets are 3.59@14
This post is from awhile ago but i wanted to see if you can clarify the materials list if for all three planters or just one?
Woodbex is nice for that.
These are gorgeous and look perfect to put in front of my trashcan hiders in the front yard that I am making a patio for. The patio will have a lot of dirt / soil leftover. Do you think I could fill the base with the dirt and soil, instead of doing the shelves, or do you think that would make it too heavy and it would seep through / they would fall over?
Wow! These are awesome. It can help with my privacy issue. Only wish you can build them for me….😉 I’m in Florida…do you deliver? I’ll pick up…😂
Youre badass!
Awsome
hi
Awesome Planter boxes! Can’t beat the price point to make them either! Thanks for the video!
Very nice. Im going to use a smaller version for window boxes!
Hi my name is Kimberly. Can I ask for your help?
Thank you for your wonderful tutorial! I am looking to build something similar to directly hold soil and grow climbing roses in my long and narrow alleyway (without using separate planted bins inside). I wonder if the structure, lined inside, will be strong enough to hold dirt, water and climbing roses. Fence boards are not as thick as regular 2×4. Would soil moisture warp the narrow and tall planter over time? Thank you!
My adventure with the tree began with projects from Woodprix.
Another great job Kristy! Love watching all of your projects.
I did something like this a month ago with plans from Woodglut.
I love these and will be trying to make them soon. The materials list is for one planter box correct?
Not very informative …
You’re so pretty, Kristy! Thanks for sharing this build, hope to try it with my mum 😊
Hey girl! I have been watching (and LOVING) your videos, and just thought I’d say hi!
I’ve always loved to build things too, and have recently started to think about projects we are going to do this year at our new house. I’ve been just loving your projects, and watching you be able to pull them off, as I’m also just a mom – not much experience 😬
Keep doin ya thing, these are great videos!
Xoxo,
Sarah Nicole
Just to clarify- is the materials list for one planter box or three?
The planters will rot eventually how do you avoid that?
1st time watching and I like the finished product so much, but you go thru the proess so quickly, I’m not sure how I could keep up. It really is great planter box but even if I was trying to keep notes, I know I couldn’t. Thanks
Great to see that… I made it too. Using woodprix handbooks 🙂
I cannot believe that I found this video on your channel 2 this was the next one that I was looking to build myself for inspiration on YouTube because we needed to add more green as a part of our city requirement for our new fixer-upper and this is absolutely perfect thank you so much it was definitely God‘s plan that I ran into your channel this morning!!!
Ok went to Lowe’s got the wood all cut. So excited to see if I can do this. Thanks for the inspiration
I can’t wait to try this!
Hi
Thank you, i need to ask husband to try this, but i have personal question what are the height this planter box?
Did you put casters on them? Or were they going directly on the ground in your yard? I like this idea and would consider it to separate spaces on my back patio (But would add casters, so I could move if necessary)
I heard very good opinions about the Stodoys plans.
Great video except for the fact that used treated lumber, people may plant vegetables in these boxes and the chemicals used for treated lumber have been known to cause cancer, good except used cedar or pine, all should be untreated lumber.
