My daughter asked if I could build her a planter box that was bigger than those she found in the stores.  On Monday We went to Lowes and picked up a couple of PT 4X4's and some 5/4 red cedar boards and a bit of ground cover fabric. I thought a box with 30" X 60" inside dimensions should work for what she wants. Took this old pfart 2 days to build it, but here is what I ended up with. Daughter is happy and I survived a minor cut on my thumb while notching the 4 X4's.. Nothing like what John experienced but enough to remind me stay awake when using power tools. After all was said and done, this is what we ended up with. 

 

 

 

Assembly was done using screws and glue. The bottom boards were spaced 1/2" apart and 3/4" holes were drilled to provide for drainage. The planter is 30" high.

That's nice!!

 That is super nice.......great workmanship. Now if she buys the super soil I see in bags at Lowes........she will need a loan for something that big

Nicely done Al.  I like that.

Fantastic! That's bigger than my garden

You guys got to stop doing that stuff. 

Al, so sorry about the cut from that table saw.  I hope you gave it a good talking to.    Good wood on the project, excellent craftsmanship and quality design.  Looking forward to the actual garden and products.  That's about the size of my garden for the grandchildren.  Awesome job.  

Great job Al, thanks for posting it up.
