I couldnt believe it, a planter box created from only 3 fence pickets? Costing only $3 each, these planter boxes have a low production cost of around $10! You can see all over facebook marketplace where people are selling them for $60-$80, but I found mine to sell the best when priced at $30. And many people bought this size box as an add-on. A lot of people either wanted custom boxes. Which, I qouted a selling cost of $10 per $3 fence picket I used.
We have planted many different varieties in these boxes and they are doing great. I do not use a liner; cedar is naturally weather sealed and will not rot, warp, decay or mold. I also did not seal the boxes with any sort of clear coat or paint. Overtime, cedar will turn from its pretty redish brown to grey when exposed to sunlight for a prolonged period of time.
These are a great foot-in-the-door project for anybody who is looking to begin selling their woodworking projects, or simply taking their woodworking hobby to the next level. Before these planter boxes, I only made furniture and built things for myself, and family (where I only charged them for the materials). These boxes not only helped me to make my first dollar by woodworking, but when posting this video, I have made $1208 profit; and yes, thats factoring in my total materials cost, from buyers in a small town of 3000 people.
Two tips not mentioned in the video:
1) do not take large orders or custom orders without obtaining a deposit. Luckily I had only one person order a taller 25x16x16 box and stop responding to me, his name is Ron Whitaker... Unfortunately I did not take deposits or payment in advance, but these are also not expensive to build.
2) you can use treated boards, cedar is less than a dollar more and better for the plants, unless you use a liner and are going to paint the exterior.
Thanks again for watching, and please please please like this video so it can be suggested to other cool cats like yourselves. Bye for now!!
