  • Simple window box planter I made from pallet wood. Easy to make DIY flower box that won't rot. More window box vids: goo.gl/ZgM71v Sub here: goo.gl/3zM702
    I made this DIY planter from pallet wood and painted it to look like something you'd buy from pottery barn. I like the idea of the upcycling garden project that you can finish in many ways. I painted this flower box white, but you could stain it with multiple layers of colored stain or use outdoor deck stain. Be sure to use a high quality primer to make the paint last.
    If you want to use polyurethane on the wooden planter, be sure to use outdoor poly. I use a plastic planter insert to keep the wood from rotting.

    Cool and easy. I will make, as soon as I get a pallet.

    Best design approach for window boxes... Thriller/Filler/Spiller. Use a tall and/or very colorful central plant. I frequently use dracenae for the 'thriller.' I use baby tears, trailing thyme, or other plant that is waterfall-like along the front. And then the fillers are all the flowers.

    great flower box. my husband would say measure twice cut once. nice saying didn't make me any more competent measuring so I took the best 2 out of 3 and usually re did. anyhoo, bright red geraniums, those purple spikey flowers and sweet potato vines - the lime green ones.

      thx! i'm trying to use the wood to make useful things that don't have 'pallet project' all over them.

    At :44 when you brought out the pry bar my first thought was...reciprocating saw. Then Plan B came out and I laughed. Pallets are a bear to break down. I use a reciprocating all the time now. Nice project though. New thoughts for strawberry planters. Thanks!

    I would use linseed oil for a natural wood look. I would use 2 Little Bunny Burgundy grasses and 1 Proven Winner Vista Bubblegum. Full sun box. Oh, and don't forget to put 4 drainage holes in your box if it doesn't already have some. 8-)

    Do you use battery operated tools ? I do when I'm out where I don' have electricity or run 200 feet of extension cord. I also use my solar panel to keep the batteries charged..

    • @gardenfork

      yes! check out this simple solar panel we installed: ua-cam.com/video/2a6Gti-wpVk/v-deo.html

    It`s always good to have a saw that is able to cut "rebellious" nails ! :-)
