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.

Easy to follow plans!!
Just finished building these for our front porch. My wife loves them. I stained them white as well and they look great.
