Creating a transformable rocker that doubles as an outdoor plant box is a fun and practical DIY project. Here’s how to build one:
Materials Needed:
- Reclaimed wood or weather-resistant lumber
- Screws, hinges, and brackets
- Drill and saw
- Sandpaper and wood sealant
- Soil and plants (optional)
Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Design the Frame: Sketch a rocker shape with a flat top that can hold a plant box. Ensure the base is curved for rocking.
2. Cut the Wood: Use a saw to shape the rocker base and plant box sides. Sand edges for safety.
3. Assemble the Rocker: Screw the curved base together, reinforcing with brackets for stability.
4. Add the Plant Box: Attach a removable or foldable box on top using hinges. Line it with waterproof material if needed.
5. Finish & Customize: Seal the wood for outdoor use. Paint or stain as desired, then add plants for a lively touch.
