Great Planter Boxes
Very easy, fun project. The planters are sturdy and look great. I lined mine with heavy duty plastic liner (with a few holes in it) so that I could plant right into the box. Very happy with the final product.

Weather durability
How long do you think these would last out in the weather? I know I can stain/paint every piece before building it, but I was hoping to avoid that lol and just paint it after building.

Error Downloading Easy Planter PDF
Hi, I love the easy planter plan. Unfortunately, I get an error when I click on the PDF download link.
The error is:
Error generating document: Failed to generate PDF: 'align_items' is not a recognized CSS property., 'justify_content' is not a recognized CSS property., 'box_shadow' is not a recognized CSS property.
This happens in Chrome and Edge

Pallet planter
I just finished this planter and now the wife is staining it. It's made from 100% pallet wood because of the price of regular wood.

Can’t download plans.
The PDF link doesn’t work. Unfortunate.
