Upcycling fence palings to create raised planter box surround, after having a piece of boundary fence replaced with some of the existing fence panels being in decent condition I knew they should be kept for a future project.
This raised planter box surround supports a large plastic plant pot with drainage and acts as a surround. Once the size was determined (by selecting the internal pot that was suitable for the plant choice) the timbers were measured and cut with circular saw and then screwed into place, allowing for longer lengths to create planter feet. The timber was then painted with external paint in white to suit our garden space.
Steps
Step 1
Measure and cut all panels.
Step 2
Screw panels together allowing for longer lengths as pot feet/stand and drainage at the bottom.
Step 3
Paint all faces, internal and external.
Step 4
Plant up in chosen plastic pot.
