Modern Slat Window Planter
Build Box SidesMy next step was to complete the planter area of the box that will eventually hold the dirt. I added a second row of 2x4s on each of the four sides at the top of the box, leaving a small gap for drainage.
Build Box BottomThen, I put two 2x4s side by side underneath those top two rows to make the bottom of the box – once again leaving small gaps between the boards for drainage.
Add SlatsNext, I added 1×4 cedar tone boards around the outside of the box to give it the slat look. I used pencils for spacers between the boards and mitered the front corners.
Add Landscape FabricI added two layers of landscape fabric to the inside of the box to hold the dirt.
Add Plants and Enjoy!We’re pretty happy with how the planter turned out.
It gives us the modern look we wanted.
