How I Turned a Pallet Into Planter Boxes

Want to up-cycle an old pallet into planter boxes? What about stylish, large planters that demand to be the center of attention. Well, then you need to check out my “new” planter boxes made from pallets!

First part of your assembly is essentially building a box.

Connecting all the sides is pretty easy to do, but it's easier with someone there to help. You can follow my measurements in the link below.

This is what it will look like once all the sides are done. At this point, it needs some trim work on the edges, top, and bottom.

Next, it's time to add the pallet wood to the exterior.

We kept these same widths on all the trim, just to keep it consistent. We also made sure to line up the trim with the top of the planter so that we could install a level top piece.

Cut down the pallet pieces into 2 1/4 inch strips.

Now it's time to add the top trim piece.

After this step, I gave all the edges and surfaces a quick sanding so that we didn’t give ourselves any unnecessary splinters.

Next is to add the X design to the sides of the planter.

Build a platform for your plant to be planted in.

Fill them with soil and whatever plant you want! Aren’t they cool? I just love them! They are the gorgeous planter box I was looking for.
