Building an outdoor plant box with adjustable height legs is a fantastic DIY project for garden lovers. Here’s a simple guide to help you create one:
1. Materials Needed:
- Wooden planks (cedar or redwood for durability)
- Adjustable furniture legs or threaded rods with nuts
- Screws, drill, saw, and measuring tape
- Waterproof sealant (optional)
2. Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Cut the Wood: Measure and cut the planks to your desired box size (e.g., 24"x12"x12").
- Assemble the Box: Screw the planks together to form a rectangular box. Reinforce the corners for stability.
- Attach the Legs: Drill holes at the bottom corners and secure the adjustable legs. Use threaded rods for a custom height option.
- Seal the Wood: Apply a waterproof sealant to protect the wood from weather damage.
3. Adjustability Tip:
- Use wing nuts or locking mechanisms on the legs to easily change the height as needed.
