Garden/ Window boxes

This looks great, Dadoo. I can’t let my wife see it or she’ll be trying to figure out where to put these on our house.

Nice job! It looks really good. All’s well that ends well.

Why nt just use treated lumber?

-- Ted Pagels, Green Bay, WI

I would have used treated lumber as well.
The new stuff has a less evil chemical than the old stuff plus you don’t have to deal with synthetic liners etc when they are spent.
I’ve use Titebond II on some outside jobs and have been disappointed . I am trying Titebond III but the jury is still out on that one too.
p.s. I use Western cedar most of the time and just biscuit the fence boards when I need more width.
My new ones this year will each have a water reservoir.

Nice job on yours.

Good luck with yours.

This is a nice looking project!

Very nice! Lots of work but the results are worth the effort, I would say. I made a couple of small window boxes several years ago and considered using pt wood but ended up just using some pine I had. Probably won’t last forever but they’ve been hanging on the front of the house now for four years and no signs of decay yet. Never thought of coating the inside with roofing tar but, then, if you drill drain holes you kind of defeat the purpose anyway don’t you? I figured that I made them inexpensively and if they fall apart, I’ll just make some more.

These turned out great! Very nicely done. Thanks for posting.

Very nice, the window boxes with the lower braces are especially fine. I would expect that you had to fit them to the siding, I love to grow gardens too. Great style!
