@bobbyrooney Год назад

Looks amazing! Had you cut the pressure treated wood a bit shorter you'd have saved some cutting on the bottom planks. I can always find a way to make fewer cuts. However, I don't know if the slightly shorter supports would have any knock-on effect. Presumably these are things you'd have to build a bunch of, so saving 6 cutouts per unit could add up to some serious time saved.

@sqlsmarty4325 Год назад

@mresmith4302 Год назад

great build. One tip would be to drill the pocket holes in the top face of the boards that make up the bottom. The direction and angle of the screws will provide more strength against downward pressing forces. This is important especially since the wood is wet and will shrink as it dries.

@kwaks1979 Год назад

Can you explain more in this please?

@ImDying2Live Год назад

@@kwaks1979 If the screws of the floor are angled downward the screws would have to sheer to fail. It is unlikely since its a tight fit, but with the screws angeld upward, technically enough weight could pull the screws out of the wood and the sheer strenth would be irrelevant.

@kennykaeck3595 Год назад

Building one now, and drilled and screwed the holes as you suggested. My question is should I fill those holes to prevent water from pooling there and if so, what method should I use to fill them?

@redfulla1494 Год назад

@@ImDying2Live this is good advice. I'm popping together a planter this afternoon, and was browsing for ideas on how I would secure the bottom. A lot of the designs I've skipped past look like the bottom will fall out so easily. couple bags of wet soil can easily hit 50kg or more.

@s8ang Год назад

Shouldn't the pocket holes for the bottom have been flipped over and screwed from the inside of the box for weight support?

@zx4133 Месяц назад

No. Absolutely not. The box will be constantly full of moist soil. You don’t want that getting down into the holes and contacting the screws. Yeah you could glue/plug them but water will still get in over time. 6 total pocket holes/screws per board (screwed in from the bottom) is plenty strong and will support the weight just fine.

@TheWeatheredShed Год назад

Love the look of this box, but wanting to make them taller and add casters so I can roll them in and out of my store. Would you just recommend extending the legs and the inside corner support board and attach the castors to the 2x2 inside board? Thanks!

@BearMountainBuilds Год назад

@fffuuuiiis2948 4 месяца назад

Came across this video. It's a good-looking planter box, and the timber shouldn't cost too much, maybe less than $100. Problem is it would likely cost over $3,000 to get all the tools, clamps, table saw, jig saw, miter saw, oh and the pocket drill rig, corner squares.

@canadianbacon79 4 месяца назад

Well if you buy hot dogs, you should only pay $5-10. But if you don't already have a stove, fridge, BBQ, utensils etc... it will cost you more. If you don't have any of the tools, then buy a pre-made one, and don't complain it costs alot more...

@BearMountainBuilds 3 месяца назад

You can build this with minimal tools just takes longer than using what I use. Everyone starts with a few of the generic and invest in more tools over time.

@stephenmoore2561 Год назад

Have you sold any of these & if so, how much do you get for them?

@marcosmota1094 2 года назад

Good design except for the bottom screws. When you drill many holes in a straight line, it's like perforating wood the same as line printer paper; it splits easily over time. Instead, delete the middle vertical support and run a horizontal re-enforcing member of thicker wood.

@eugenedaigle5775 2 года назад

Nice planter I thought you couldn't use pressure treated wood for vegetables do to the arsenic in it I would check that

@mikejd1364 Год назад

they no longer use arsenic in pressure treated, at least in Canada anyway.

@smilinggoodtimes3514 8 месяцев назад

I am building a couple planter boxes myself off of your video. So far it’s turning out very nicely, and I appreciate you making the video! However, when I’m using the Kreg system to pre-drill my angled screw holes for the bottom boards, and I’m using 3/4 inch boards on the bottom, and drilling into 3/4 inch boards on the side, I would like to know how long the screws should be so I don’t punch through the side of the planter box. I have purchased 1 inch as well as 1 1/4 inch screws, and since I don’t know how far the screw goes through the pre-drilled bottom section, I am unsure of how long I should be using. Best I know to do at this point is to find a couple 3/4 inch boards and do a practice drill…

@BearMountainBuilds 8 месяцев назад

Just use 1-1/4" screws. Kreg has a great diagram showing what screw length to use based on material thickness

You are thinking about old-fashioned PT wood, when arsenic was used. They outlawed those nasty chemicals years ago & replaced with other non-toxic chemicals. New PT wood is safe in birdhouses & dig houses & raised garden beds.

The nasty chemicals are no longer used in the pressure treatment of wood. Those chemicals (arsenic) were banned & new & safer methods introduced. PT wood is perfectly safe for bird houses and for raised beds. Think Morse Code vs 5G wireless.

@henrytao8091 Год назад

As having a couple vegetable gardens beds, it is not wise to use pressure treated wood/lumber as the chemicals used to treat the lumber will make contact with the soil which will contaminate the entire soil in the planter box as you water your vegetable plants. Just as Kelly B mentioned 7mos ago. Better to use one of the Cedar board for support or double them up and use them as support. Don’t want to eat any vegetables that’s been contaminated with the chemicals from the treated lumber.

Not sure because of how wet the wood was that the wood glue is going to do you much? I wouldn’t expect it to work well, but I don’t know for sure. Let me know if that did work well, and the shrinkage as wet as it was the shrinkage of all the pieces. Not sure how that played out in the end either? As it dried?

@stephenmoore2561 Год назад

I noticed that you used a drill press to pre-drill some of the holes. How important is this on order to get the screws to go in straight? I don't have a drill press. I notice when I drill my holes, many of the screws don't go in straight. I try to drill straight but to no avail. Any suggestions? Hate to go to the expense of using the roofing strews if some of them don't go in straight. Kinda' defeats the purpose of having that extra nice look.

@BearMountainBuilds Год назад

The drill press isn’t necessary just takes some human error out. I definitely recommend pre drilling holes to avoid splitting and to get the screw straighter. As for recommendations to make it easier you could look into buying a drill that has a center level on the back. That’ll make it a lot easier to know if you’re drilling straight down

@markb8954 Год назад
