DIY Flower box

You can modify the model of your box according to your needs.

The proposed model is simple, easy to reproduce and economical since there is no loss of wood. Rectangular, it leaves enough space to grow different types of plants.

Its four legs lift the box and move it away from the humidity of the ground.

If you want a higher box, you just need to extend the legs. But keep balanced proportions. A box that is too high will be less stable.

For the box to be durable and to counter the natural warping movement of the wood, the assembly must be solid. Place at least 4 screws per board.

Use stainless steel screws or screws for treated wood.

The assembly of the bottom of the box is just one way of doing it. You can change it as long as it is solid.

Cedar is a natural essence that supports the outdoor climate very well. However, it will turn grey if it is not protected. You can apply a product with a slight colour.

You can also apply teak oil. You can apply it in fall and spring.

Geotextile helps retain moisture and helps improve root development.

To make the right choice of soil, it must be related to the type of plants you want to grow.
