Hello and welcome to "Make your own planter with Mark"

In this course, I’m going to show you how to build a very simple 30cm by 30cm planter that you can use to show off your flower displays.

This planter is made from wooden decking boards and some thin timber posts, which can be bought relatively cheaply from most DIY stores, or you could adapt the planter using wood you already have.

I’ll be taking you through the process from start to finish with every step explained in full.

This basic design is 30cm by 30cm but the same method and techniques can be applied to make a planter of any size you require.

The planter I’m showing you is three deck boards deep which means it’ll be perfect for any bedding plants or small shrubs but you could easily make your planter taller just by adding an extra one or two deck boards, you could also make it wider by just adjusting your measurements to suit your needs.

This course is perfect for the complete beginner, no prior knowledge of DIY is needed and you’ll only needs a few basic tools to complete it, and this course is ideal for developing your skills as a DIY carpenter without spending a fortune.
