How to build a tiered wooden planter
Here is the video tutorial. I also have the steps listed below if you would rather read about it.
Just hit play –
Step 1 – Start by cutting up the cedar fence for the planter boxes.
Step 2 – Build the three planter boxes using wood glue and finish nails. 
Step 3 – Cut the legs and attach legs using wood glue and wood screws. They are screwed from the inside of the boxes. 
Step 5 – Attach the next box and set of legs.
Step 6 – Lastly, attach the final box and legs. 
That’s it! The DIY tiered planter is ready!
Fill it up with your favorite flowers or herbs and enjoy!

Hi Anika – Love this great, simple build. I had been looking for an easy and quick project to use when my niece visits next week. I will get the supplies and have it for her to help build. She loves to tinker around in my garage shop (kinda like her aunt!).
Thanks for sharing!

This is a lovely project! To clarify, did you put soil right in the boxes? Or did you put tops in the boxes?
Thanks!

Hi Denise,
I actually put a whole pot with the plant inside the box. The post rests on the slats on the bottom of the box. That way I can easily switch out the plant too.
Denise says
Thanks! I actually picked up some free plastic pots someone was giving away that will be perfect for this 🙂
