There is a tiny strip of wall between our apartment and our neighbor's yard that I've been itching to make containers for. The strip is so thin that purchasing containers is near impossible so the day finally came when I sat down and made my own.
Redwood planks can be quite pricy so I went through a tiny bit of extra work to keep my total costs down. Instead of purchasing finished redwood planks I instead bought redwood FENCING boards.
For whatever reason redwood fencing boards are super cheap...like $3 a board. The only problem is the top is curved, so I simply cut the top off and made myself a nice board.
I then measured out the sizes and with some glue and galvanized screws put the two boxes together with very basic joints and voila! Custom sized redwood planters!
