Outdoor Planter - Quick and Dirty

My friend Nikita made the poor mistake of mentioning she wanted to buy some simple timber planters on FB Marketplace. So very quickly I convinced her we could build one together and it could then be exactly what she wanted both in dimensions and price. So that's what we did!

This ended up being a fab half day project despite the fact that we had no power tools with use besides a drill. Luckily you can get your lumber cut for free at Bunnings (Hardware store) under a certain amount of cuts and so with our cut list and a rough design we got them to cut most of our lengths before we even left the store which saved us so much time.

Obviously not all our cut list ended up accurate haha

All done!

Now obviously this thing ended up weighing a tonne and is a nightmare to move without the 6 good bags of soil in it but I still love it and more importantly Nikita loves it.

Here it is thriving six months on!
