Is there any benefit to using the plastic containers versus just adding a bottom board with drainage and placing the planters directly in the planter?
I’ve got the same old craftsman table saw. Got mine free off the side of the road. Looking to make my wife some window boxes, looks like a good system you got.
What size are the plastic containers?
Nice bro.good job
Like this project! Good ideas!👍🏻
A year later, how have the copper straps held up? Did you take down during winter or keep up?
Hey Simon. Can we get a follow-up video on these? How is the wood holding up. Did the containers get brittle and crack?
Great job…
I have looked a lot of window box DIY videos and this was the best one. I just built three of these but I used a 1×2 board across the bottom instead of the little ledger boards to make it sturdier for holding the plastic boxes. I sanded and stained them and they look great. Thanks for the easiest and the most cost effective way to have great looking boxes. Three boards $2.56 =$7.68 and the plastic totes $8.00 for a total of $15.68. That is $5.23 for each one. Will use plumbers tape and old shelf supports to hold mine up. Thanks again.
Did you pre drill before adding screws?
How did the copper strips end up working out for you?
Only thing I would have done different is made them longer and add more holes to the plastic tubs. Great job! I came looking here after getting frustrated with pinterest to see if someone had a similar idea i had in mine! Thank you!
If I don’t have a table saw whats a good way to make the strips? Can I just leave them the original width?
This is great. Thank you.
Add gravel at the bottom of those trays next time. By adding only soil only you risk drowning plants when watering them. If you add a layer of soil you give the extra water you add a chance to escape to the bottom and since you really sprayed them there’s a chance you’ll have a lot of dead plants if you keep that up. You can also just add holes to the bottom too.
Do you think this would work on the inside of my house?
😻 this is amazing! I saw another tutorial that I would have to drill on the siding. I was going to stop thinking about this project. Thank you so much!!! Super easy! Question, my window frame is metal, can I still do this how you did it?
You can also use good quality artificial plants and flowers. Trust me, from the street you can’t tell. Plus, you don’t have to water them and you can change them with the seasons. Just store them and you can reuse them until they’re too sun bleached or damaged from the elements.
I was considering the nylon straps, too. I think I’ll look into your supports. Thanks for saving me time.
Wow, clever idea!💗
