Reader submitted photo by jean My love of cedar fence pickets started about 15 years ago. I couldn't believe the store was selling CEDAR boards in a 1x6 size for less than $2 a board. I bought as many as I could fit in my small car, and we drove home with the windows open the smell of cedar was so strong. I built so many projects with those fence pickets - the first was garden beds (that we STILL USE TODAY). Cedar fence pickets are a gift to us DIYers!

You'll just needs some 2x4s and cedar fence pickets to build this raised planter with bottom shelf. It's easy to care for plants with the raised height and the bottom shelf adds storage. This is a free project plan from Ana-White.com, with diagrams, shopping and cut list and lots of real, reader submitted photos. Build by Family_DIYnamic + Build Video
