id=\"block-e1a63316-f1cb-48ba-b90c-92ad9f3a3ec7\">Note: Dimensions are for the planter container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-0d74f735-c3bb-4464-8be0-beb035e81d76\">Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-b8b2e50f-8d16-487f-8a2b-9c18f9c5fd5b\">Phase 1:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-2ef125bd-fbd7-4c37-809b-e64c2fc5fe77\">Build the box frame.&nbsp;Cut cedar planks into 1\u2033 thick pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-db5eddb6-76a0-4079-ad24-3faefccee3b8\">Level 2:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-b9bcffdc-f087-466a-aea5-6da5043f5ce1\">Measure the dimensions of your planter insert and cut the base frame to those dimensions.&nbsp;Be sure to add 1 inch to both the width and length to account for the stakes that will be attached inside.&nbsp;Repeat the operation to obtain 2 frames for the top and bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-6aeb0a09-b8de-42e3-b2dc-31888df30e0a\">Step 3:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-740c74c2-1a79-4f22-8b0c-b51ef59ad6af\">Secure the frame with wood glue and wood nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-20422037-bbe3-438d-9a37-baafeb56a6ae\">Step 4:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-5473a1bc-1a62-4bc9-9802-7c45907ba2cf\">Make wooden pegs.&nbsp;Cut them to size to leave a gap of 1\/2\u2033 at the bottom and 1\/4\u2033 at the top.&nbsp;This will allow the top lip of the flower container to extend beyond the frame and into the base.&nbsp;Divide the difference into both sides of the frame and secure it with glue and nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-fe27babf-59f7-4e58-83f5-4ac10733d5ee\">Step 5:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-ca0ad074-9b85-4ef3-b7a9-525a17d15c85\">Cut the vertical supports and glue them in place.&nbsp;Glue the vertical supports together at the corners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-552a34cb-146f-4f55-9886-159b5f0b1f39\">Step 6:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-8a6a7688-0bfb-4ea8-83a6-809f63bf2994\">Secure the top frame by gluing and nailing it.&nbsp;This sits above the vertical supports and is attached to the internal pegs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-94792004-f4fd-4eae-9946-e053e7876e0b\">Step 7:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-bf24c2fa-088e-4988-8d38-5e7ef2c04937\">Measure the width of the bottom, then cut two same-sized stakes to fit the measurement.&nbsp;Glue and nail everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-11d4a8ad-579e-4294-a170-2345173882d4\">Step 8:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-30e96283-1edf-4cda-ba1e-b735b6d9c7c4\">Make the lip.&nbsp;Cut a strip of wood the same width as the pieces used for the frame, to obtain the dimensions of the box.&nbsp;The corners will be cut at a 45 degree angle with a carpenter&#8217;s saw.&nbsp;Secure them with glue and nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-21a0dad5-f534-417d-b3be-e2e35bc2b16e\">Step 9:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-20b49afd-4322-4afb-91e3-d26a21096782\">Sand and coat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-145a01d9-f1e8-4d44-8ab6-8e609ea7a38a\">Step 10:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"block-eb50b0a3-3814-4529-93ed-54bc91e6a78e\">Cut a piece of scrap picket.&nbsp;It should fit into the rear frame.&nbsp;Drill it into the wall.&nbsp;Next, place the plaster against the board and drive two 3\u2033 decking screws from inside the planter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love adding herbs to my dishes and have always wanted an herb garden.&nbsp;We
