re: Planter boxes

This material is great. It’s tongue and groove cedar fence planks that I salvaged when my next door neighbor replaced his fence with vinyl. I have no idea how long that fence was up but I’m guessing well over 10 years. The slats have been sitting in my shop since then I made a few planter boxes out of it 2 years ago when I got the material. Same rabbeted construction. They’ve been full of dirt and watered daily during the summer and they look as good today as the day I made them. One was made to sit on the ground and I’ve had to move it a few times. No problem. Still very tight and no apparent rotting. Between the rabbets and the T&G material, they’re incredibly sturdy. It’s really good material for planters. I used up all the material I had, but in the future, if I have to make another planter, I’m going to mill the boards to be T&G. I’m a stickler for structural integrity and this really works out wonderfully.
