I have made a lot of concrete planters and this time I wanted to experiment with making reusable molds. This segmented concrete planters are made out of Quikrete 5000 concrete mix which comes pre mixed in 80lbs bags and all you have to do is add water. I made one mold out of left over PVC 1-1/4” PVC pipe screwed to a piece of vinyl floor mat. The concrete hexagon planter was made out of pieces of PVC trim board ¾” thick and 5-1/2” wide. I used hinges to connect the boards. The insides of the concrete planters are made from mixing buckets and plastic bottles.

Oh, I love this project! (I know I say that every time). I especially like the face of the planter that mimic the surface of the a barrel cactus. Very artistic. I also appreciate the reusable practice. Thanks.

I've recently gotten interested in casting concrete, and although there's some great molds to purchase, I've ALWAYS been interested in homemade, reusable supplies! This is a GREAT tutorial with equally great results -- in particular, I love the look of the segmented planter! Thank you so much for the step-by-step instructions AND explanation of the supplies you use. That's a huge help! Cheers, and blessings from Eagle Rock, CA!

I would never have thoughtof using pvc pipes as moulds.

@FabulousKhaled 4 года назад

that was great but wouldn't it be useful to use a second reusable mold instead of the plastic buckets inside?

@2ndpersondancing 2 года назад

As seen elsewhere, greasing the molds is how almost anything can be made reusable. Even just vegetable oil is supposed to work.

@myrabbitispink 4 года назад

try oiling the inside bottles/buckets on their outsides (the sides that come in contact with the concrete) to allow for easy releasing

What do you do to waterproof the planters and avoid cracking? Do you paint them with anything? How they age? Do they gets stains from water and soil coming through?

@erikasong3054 3 года назад

@Tonton-qh6io 4 года назад

I like how the one made with the pipes mimics the ridges on the cactus! Oh, I'm not sure if this applies to all types of cement, but I read that you have to neutralize it for the plants? I guess unless the plant prefers alkaline soil. I could be wrong but just thought I'd let you know.

@robstephens 4 года назад

By holding an oscillating tool or a pad sander against the mold after pouring, to vibrate the concrete, you would achieve a better finish to the concrete.

@laurinos8774 4 года назад

The pipe one looks great, like a Greek brutalist crossover. Have looked into foamed pvc that they use for sign making? It is great material and you can bend it and heatform it easily. Should work well for reusable molds.

@alexaspiwak6813 3 года назад

Feels weird commenting a year later but I have my doubts about trying foam. Concrete can become quite warm as it sets since the process is an exothermic reaction. I suspect over time the PVC foam would warp, shrink or crack as a result of the heat.

Pro tip: rubbing alcohol will cause hot glue to release within seconds with no effort. Just drip/spray some on to the joint and it will come right off. No need for paint scrapers or elbow grease.

you can use Vaseline as a cheap release for the buckets and pvc

@petergillock9533 4 года назад

I wonder if a vibrator (not that kind) would help these come out a bit smoother. Place the bottom board on some rubber pads and set up a simple electric motor with an unbalanced bit on the drive shaft, attached anywhere on the board. Run it while you pour the concrete and then stop so the concrete can dry. Just an idea. I've seen long drill type ones for pouring house foundations.

@sagalindhe 4 года назад

It would! Or just going at it with a hammer or something

@mafhper 4 года назад

Reusing materials is always a good thing. Maybe I would let the pots dry longer and throw a little bit of limestone on the inside before adding the soil.

@l.medina6251 3 года назад

@DebbieTomkoSUNSHINE Год назад

@boltup5566 4 года назад

Looks great. How much did it cost? Not counting the tools

@ChiefMoonChunks 4 года назад

That was (guess-timating) about $20 worth of concrete. The hinges would've been probably the biggest expense. The PVC and vinyl would've been quite cheap

@FlwrMs 4 года назад

what is the inside & outside diameters of the 'column-looking' one....w/20 -- 1-1/4 pieces of pipe? & while I'm here, how tall is it?

You could put some oil on the molding base so that it will not stick.

@notalltheories 3 месяца назад

THIS IS PERFECT!! Do you think it would work to scale up the PVC one using a 55 gallon drum and like...3-4 inch pipes? I want to make really big planters like the ones you see in malls that are like 4 feet tall and plant trees in them. I would make them baseless and sink the whole thing 6" or so into the ground to allow the tree's roots to grow where they want... am I crazy? Maybe.

I've read that you should cure cement pots in water for a week or more before putting soil and plants in. Do you do that? Have you had any problems with cracking? I want to get into making my own cement pots as well!!
