Build Flower Boxes

Here you will find Egenbyggt’s DIY plans for flower boxes that you can build yourself. Building your own flower box is easy and doesn’t take long to complete.

With our DIY plans, you get clear instructions on how to do it. A shopping list of materials, precise drawings of how each part should be sawn, and a step-by-step assembly guide are included. **All measurements are in inches (imperial units), making the plans ideal for U.S.-based builders.**

We offer several different sizes and models to choose from. The flower boxes are built of wood, and we recommend planting the flowers in an inner pot made of plastic, a bucket, or something similar — especially due to the size of the box.

It’s also possible to build a sealed bottom and line the inside with landscape fabric or plastic. The downside is that cleaning becomes more difficult compared to using a removable bucket or pot. With those, you can lift them out or dig in with a small shovel without damaging the liner.

It’s important to treat the flower box properly: start with a primer, and then apply one or two coats of the paint you’ve chosen. With proper surface treatment, your flower box can last for many years.

You can use regular exterior paint or a glaze that allows the natural wood texture to show through.

Under each flower box on the website, you’ll find more information, photos, and measurements for each of our available models.

Good luck with your build!
