Planter Boxes
Planter box builds for patios, decks and windows: dimensions, drainage, liners and wood that holds up outdoors.
Planter Boxes covers building and choosing boxes for patios, decks and windows, including dimensions, drainage, liners and wood that holds up outdoors. A buying guide explains what to look for across materials, sizes, shapes and price points. A beginner guide walks through a simple build with four sides, a bottom and drainage holes. Another article looks at large planter boxes for vegetables and shrubs.
Other articles look at cedar, including the different species and grades sold under that name, and at drainage, with hole placement, hole quantity and soil mix. A guide to soil mixes explains what goes into a planter box and why. There are also articles on how self-watering planter boxes work and when to use them, and on window box selection, mounting and planting.
