PRACTICAL PLANTER

Tools and materials

  • Mitre saw
  • Drill
  • Forstner bit Heat torch
  • Sander/sandpaper
  • Thick bristle brush
  • Paint brush
  • Wood for the project
  • Decking screws
  • 2 x magnetic cabinet latch

Warmer weather is almost here, which means it's time for outdoor projects! Since I'm a sucker for weekend projects and multi-purpose builds, I created a modern planter with hose storage for my parents' backyard.

Step-by-step guide

Step 1: Set your mitre saw to 5 degrees and begin cutting your wood. You will need the following pieces (each measurement is taken from the two longest edges of the cut):

• 4 x 460mm long planks

• 4 x 435mm long planks

• 4 x 155mm long planks

• 4 x 385mm long planks
