Build a Window Box
Planter
Planters are great for gardening
on a small scale. You can use
them to grow everything from
vegetables and herbs to
decorative houseplants. Since
they're so easy to construct,
you can build the planter
yourself for an added personalized touch. A novice should be able
to construct a planter in two or three hours with basic tools. The
whole project should cost less than $15. Lowe's is happy to provide
this information as a
service
to you.

Build a Window Box Planter
Anchor the Window Box
1.
Cut two pieces of your 1x8
material into 1" by 2" strips. The
strips will act as spacers between
the window box and the wall to
allow air to circulate between them.
2.
Align the tops of the strips with the top of the back piece on
the window box. Drill
pilot holes
through the back of window
box and the strips.
3.
Use
2 1/2" hot-dipped galvanized screws to secure the
window box to the wall.
