To make your own planter you have to follow these steps:

  1. As soon as we start, we have to cut the wood into 5 pieces, taking into account that two equal parts will be needed for the sides, another two for the fronts, and another for the lower part. To do this, use a meter and, with the pencil, make lines where you have to cut. The cuts are recommended to be made with a jigsaw, but if you prefer you can use a handsaw or handsaw.
  2. Then touch sand the wood and join the parts with carpenter's tail. Secure them with the nails. You can ask someone to help you clamp them, or you can clamp them yourself with a vise.
  3. Next, the wood must be protected from the elements. For it, we will apply an asphalt protector.
  4. Once it is dry, you can give it a coat of varnish or synthetic oil (for exteriors). A) Yes, you can decorate it as you like.
  5. Finally, all that remains is to fill it with substrate, plant the flowers or plants you want, and show off as a gardener every time visitors come 😉.
