Choosing Wood for Your Planter

This planter can be built from pressure-treated lumber, though cedar is the recommended choice. Cedar handles outdoor conditions well and has a warm natural appearance. You can choose a finish that suits the spot where your planter will sit. For more on choosing outdoor lumber, read our guide to wood for outdoor projects.

Tools and Skill Level

Expect to measure, cut, assemble and finish the pieces yourself. This build involves intricate table saw cuts, so it is best suited to someone comfortable and experienced with that tool. If you are not an experienced table saw operator, we strongly recommend asking someone who is to help you with that part of the project.
