Raised Planters

Couple of 6' long raised planters from cedar fence pickets, with storage shelves and unique water drainage

Both planters in their final spot
Completed planter
Shelf raised up on 2x4 and screwed into place
Bottom shelf. Cross pieces glued and nailed in place
Thick plastic sheet stapled around each section as barrier against water/soil coming in direct contact with the cedar planks
Completed view
Center dividers installed. By staggering them, they also clamp the front and back boards together
Metal piece screwed in the middle with the front part flatter/raised so water drains towards the back.
Metal bent to create water drainage. This wouldn't have been necessary if there was no shelf below the planter bed
Metal from HVAC ductwork 4" pipe
Corners notched to fit around the corner blocks
Bottom pieces installed with middle left open
Screwed in bottom supports from outside
Added a third (half) plank to make it deeper. Sloped supports for bottom to drain water to middle of planter
Finished top view (or so I thought)
View from the outside
Front and back screwed into corner blocks
Corner blocks mitered to avoid injury
Sides: inside view
Finished sides
Eight legs
Cut pieces
Pickets
