Creating an outdoor plant box with wheels is a fantastic DIY project that combines functionality and mobility for your garden. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you build one:

Materials Needed:

- Wooden planks (cedar or redwood for durability)

- 4 heavy-duty caster wheels

- Screws and wood glue

- Drill and saw

- Measuring tape and pencil

- Sandpaper

- Waterproof sealant

Step 1: Measure and Cut the Wood

Decide on the size of your plant box. A common dimension is 24" (L) x 12" (W) x 12" (H). Cut the wooden planks accordingly for the base, sides, and ends.

Step 2: Assemble the Box

Attach the side panels to the base using wood glue and screws. Reinforce the corners for stability. Sand the edges to prevent splinters.

Step 3: Add the Wheels

Flip the box upside down. Attach one caster wheel to each corner using screws. Ensure the wheels are sturdy enough to support the weight when filled with soil.

Step 4: Seal the Wood

Apply a waterproof sealant to protect the wood from moisture and prolong its lifespan. Let it dry completely.

Step 5: Fill and Plant

Add a layer of gravel for drainage, followed by potting soil. Plant your favorite flowers, herbs, or vegetables.

Now you have a mobile plant box that can be easily moved to optimize sunlight or rearrange your outdoor space!
