DIY Plan for building a planting box Hovsnäs L. This is a sturdy, square box with clear corner posts and beveled tops. The sides consist of vertical panels that are recessed between the top and bottom frames, which provides straight lines and a clean shape. The top edge has a frame that outlines the opening and adds stability, and the legs extend down below the bottom edge so that the box stands firmly and gets some air against the ground.
The dimensions are adapted for a masonry tub of 65 liters, so you have plenty of soil volume for larger plantings. The box is suitable for flowers and shrubs but can also accommodate a smaller tree. It works just as well at the entrance as on the patio or in the garden, and can be used both as a clear marker and to divide areas.
The difficulty level is easy and the building time is about 6–8 hours. You build with common tools: miter saw, drill, and measuring tools. The drawing shows all measurements, cuts, and how the parts are connected so that you can work methodically from the first cut to the last screw.
The DIY Plan includes a drawing with all the measurements and details you need. The DIY Plan includes a complete material list, cutting and sawing instructions, as well as assembly steps. The result is a robust and neat planting box that lasts a long time and enhances the overall impression where you place it.
