First, we need to cut and assembly the basic box for plants, choose cedar woods which can last longer for gardening.
Then add frame legs, be sure to add the cross bracing and rails, and of course, you can choose some existing old supplies you can find in you home without any cutting and assembly to save you time. This remind me of our 15 Creative Ways to Recycle Your Old Drawers, which can be used as planters, too.
