After I built my deck I had tons of 1X1 scraps about 18-inches long. They were left over from the spindles in the railing. I wasn’t sure what to do with them so I decided to make a couple planters for my mom. The inside of the planters are lined with galvanized steel flashing because I was concerned the plant roots would creep through the cracks of the walls. Naturally they are pressure treated pine. I just used some left over deck stain. In this photo they are about 3 years old, so they have held up very well.

How is this made? do you have any plans? I would LOVE to make these since they are more decorative than most!

@WoodshopGirl5.
Sorry I don’t have plans. They were just left over spindles from a deck railing. I do remember using a nail gun and nailing the spindles together. I then cut them in a squares. I then built a frame and slid the squares down to make a side. (similar to how you would make a picture frame or cabinet door)
