Cedar Two-Tier Ladder Planter

Why I Built this Project

I wanted a small herb planter by my door that’s easy to reach without taking up much space. I didn’t need the full-size version, so this compact size is just right.

How I Built this Project

I started by cutting my 2x6 planter box ends.

I then set them on their side, added glue and then nailed the fence pickets to the front and back of each end.

For the bottom piece, just set inside the box and gently tap into place. I put a couple of nails at each side to hold the bottom in place.

Once the boxes were done I built the legs. I just followed the cut list on the plan. Once I got my first leg cut I used it as a template to cut the second leg. Once both legs were cut I set them side by side and gave them a good sanding.

Once the legs are cut, finish the legs and boxes separately if you want a two-tone look. For assembly, mark the legs for placement, then screw the boxes in to maintain proper spacing. Keep each box flush with the back edge of the legs.
