What makes this planter box design stand out from other designs you will find online?
It’s a compact size at just 2 feet by 3 feet (2’x3′), making it easier to find a place to put it. Your child should also be able to reach all parts of the box for seeding, weeding and harvesting. And at this size the garden is more manageable for a beginner gardener. You can always build more if your child wants to grow more!
No exposed end grain – all end grain is capped in some way to minimize rain and dirt penetration that could cause rot
No interior corner braces that take up valuable space inside the bed – exterior corner braces are stronger and add a design element to the outside of the box
Designed to use standard lumber sizes efficiently with almost no waste
Top trim that covers end grain of corner braces can be used to sit on for seeding, weeding and other maintenance
Sturdy bottom to hold in the soil
No nails or staples – all fasteners are construction-grade deck screws
Sacrificial feet to avoid rotting out bottom of the planter and also to protect deck surfaces from water that drips from the planter’s drain holes
Optional plastic sheeting covering the entire interior of the box to extend the life of the wood
