succulent planter box
Nate:
so Wendy asked me to build her a planter box for her succulent plants. well as you will see, I obviously do not know how to do anything simple and not engineered to withstand the apocalypse!
the inner dimensions of the planter box are 25" wide X 36" long X 5.5" deep and it stands 24"tall. it rests on 4 landscaping bricks so as to keep it off the ground to help prevent rot.
all of the wood is pressure treated 2X, all of the hardware is galvonized and everything was glued and screwed....(i hate nails)!
during this build i also got me 1 set of these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/BESSEY-H-Style-Pipe-Clamp-Fixture-Set-for-1-2-in-Black-Pipe-BPC-H12/204986130 i will get me another 3 sets for the simple fact that they are so versital and can be moved from 1 set of pipe to another.
all of the seams and holes were sprayed with clear rubberized coating, and there were small aluminimun screen patches the were stapled over all the holes to prevent the dirt from just falling out.
Nate:
here are the other pics of this build.
Nate:
if anybody would like the list of materials, just let me know and ill sent it to you or post it up on here.

:likebutton: turned out nice Nate
Suggestion on the pipe clamps, buy only 3/4” pipe clamps and get the ones built by pony. I’ve destroyed every brand they make including the pony. However, the pony brand seem to take much more abuse prior to failure. Just my 2 cents
cruizng:
Zoro.com is where I buy most of my clamping stuff. They seem to have a wide variety and the prices are bad.
Bessy brand is solid. Looks to be about the same price as HD.

Oh, and if her succulents are 10 foot Fir trees I think you have her covered. :)
