When you look outside the windows of your home, you probably want to see flowers, trees, and other types of plants instead of an empty expanse of your yard. If there’s not enough space in your yard to plant a lot of flowers or if you live in a type of home where you don’t have the option to plant your own flowers, you can make custom planter boxes to hang on the sides of your windows. Before making them, you need to measure the window and determine how much weight can be supported so that you don’t make something that’s too big.
A simple design with holes that are large enough for flower pots instead of a complete box allows you to change the flowers that you see whenever you want. All you need to do is cut holes that match the sizes of the flower pots you want to use in a board that will then be attached to the window you choose. Another type of planter you can make is one that hangs along a rail on your deck.
There are larger custom planter boxes that you can make as well. These can be placed in your yard or on your deck. You can design them using large pieces of wood that you paint or even bricks and stones to give a unique design. Bamboo planters are an option if you want more of a natural design. They are an option to consider if you have a lot of green plants or those that are of lighter colors. When you begin designing your planter box, you need to consider the number of plants that you want to include as you there should be enough room for the roots to spread. You also need to consider how the water will drain out of the planter so that it doesn’t collect and give your plants too much water.
