This tiered planter is great for colorful perennials or trailing plants like strawberries. Made from redwood, cedar or pine, the project is simple and inexpensive to build with our tiered planter box plans.

It calls for standard lumber, galvanized nails, sandpaper and sealer. Construction is a simple matter of cutting the pieces to size and assembling with galvanized nails. To finish, sand and apply a coat of sealer or paint. The tiered planter is about 30 inches square by 14 inches tall if you adhere to our tiered planter box plans.

    I agree with Ron. I signed up for the premium membership and all it’s gotten me is offers to buy dvds & video downloads which I really can’t afford! I got the idea that there would be more plans Ect!

    Looks great, I have one already but this is a better plan. I have some man made decking material that should work perfect. Thanks Larry

      Hey Joseph,

      You can use any wood that is moisture resistant. Cedar is a good choice if it is available in your area.

      Happy Woodworking!

    The photos show some spacing between the “E” pieces, but the plan does not show how to space them. Just how big of a space is between them? Also what about the drain holes how big and how far apart should they be? Some actual dimensions on the plan would be really useful, or maybe more instructions on how to assemble would be easier to type in rather than putting dimensions on the drawing.

      Hi, Michael. The spacing between the E parts should be 1/4″. I’d suggest cutting a couple scraps to 1/4″ and using them as spacers. Drain holes are 1/4″ and spaced every 3″.

      Hi Mike. I wouldn’t. The current stuff is presumably safer than the older products because it doesn’t have arsenic in it, but I wouldn’t use any treated lumber for vegetable gardens.

        MIGHT A FLEXIBLE LINER BE BEST TO PROTECT EARTH, FROM PRESSURE TREATED WOOD. PERHAPS PLASTIC SHEETING COULD BE JUST AS DANGEROUS IN LEACHING POISONS INTO THE EARTH
        AND QUICKLY TAKEN UP INTO OUR PLANTED FOODS.

    The plans do not show how the inner box is put together (Parts A to Parts B). Are they toenailed together or is there a trick I am unaware of? Or does the top half of the “box” merely sit on the bottom half

      I’d suggest using two 3″ deck screws at each corner. I would also suggest that you pre-drill your holes to minimize splitting. Paul

        But how do you connect the top and bottom half of the inner box together? Thx

        • Customer Service

          You could run screws from underneath on the two ends where you don’t have interference from the feet. Or, you could choose to not attach it and just set the top portion in place. The dirt will hold it in place.

      Really no need to affix the two. The dirt will keep them aligned. The separate pieces make it easier to move the whole thing if you need to. That’s the way I made mine.

    I would like to sign up for the premium membership, but it appears to me that after I sign up there are more costs for me to see/download videos.
