If you've ever looked for an easy and mobile option for planting, you've probably come across planter boxes. These boxes come in a variety of materials, but they all are an excellent choice for planting in unconventional spaces. You can place them in your yard, on your patio, or your porch. If you live in an apartment building, you may even be able to put a few on the roof if you get permission from your building management.
There are a few different materials you can find for planter boxes. Metal, plastic, and wood are the big three. When choosing a planter box, a cedar box is likely your best bet. Cedar is naturally insect-repellant, so that you won't have as many pest issues. Cedar also resists rotting much better than other woods.
We've found a collection of cedar planter boxes that are excellent choices for any planting project. Keep reading to check out these excellent options!
Raised Planter Box
These cedar boxes are raised on aluminum legs to allow for easier planting and tending. The boxes themselves are 2ft by 4ft, so a good 8 square feet of space to grow flowers or vegetables. By keeping the boxes at only 4 feet at their widest, you can easily reach over the width of the box without having to walk around it. These boxes are designed only to hold container mix, so be mindful when purchasing your soil to buy the right kind.
