Patio Garden Boxes

When we purchased our home there was no garden, no front porch planters, nothing.  Our home needed some planter boxes, flowers, greenery and shrubs. It needed some outdoor plants. 

How To Build A Planter Box

I am handy with tools but I prefer to leave the DIY builds to the professionals.  And by chance I am married to one. My husband has built his fair share of DIY furniture, patio covers, sundecks, planter boxes and more.

Space For Plants

So when our home needed some space for plants he created the most amazing garden area with tiered levels for greens and produce. Separate wood planters for herbs and flowers and a rock bed around the fruit trees we planted. 

DIY Planter Box Ideas

You can build DIY planters from wood, concrete or upcycle pallets, other planters or containers.  5 gallon buckets are a popular planter for tomatoes and other vegetables.  But in reality if it can hold dirt and stand up to the elements it can be made into a planter. 

How To Make Planter Boxes

We have compiled 25 amazing DIY planters for you to create and construct for use around the yard.  Cottage Life has a great video showing you step by step how to create a planter box.

Build A Planter Box

Building a planter box isn’t hard.  If you are building a wooden planter box you will require a hammer, screw driver or drill, nails, screws and possibly wood glue, sandpaper and paint. It will all depend on the style of homemade planter you are looking to make. Each planter below comes with instructions and the required materials listed.
