Get ready for summer by building this clever wooden planter box for your outdoor space! It's eye-catching and easy to build. The idea behind this is that you don’t have to go shopping for any special sized pots to set inside. A regular 5 gallon bucket widely available at hardware stores and home centers will work perfectly. Just drill a couple holes in the bottom for drainage!Key Features of the Project:
-
Wood choice: I used redwood to complement my redwood deck, but any wood is fine. Cedar is also a good choice for outdoor durability. If you wanted to do this project on the cheap, use 2x4 studs and protect the entire project with a coat of exterior latex house paint.
-
Slats: The slats are free-floating to allow for seasonal expansion and contraction. I used 1/4” thick redwood garden edging. It’s lightweight, inexpensive. If you can’t find something like this, make your own thin boards by resawing the 2x4s down.
-
Simple joinery: The entire box is assembled with glue and 16 deck screws. These are all concealed with dowel plugs.
-
Easy posts: I made the leg posts by laminated two 2x4s together. Another option is to use 4x4 posts, but I find that sometimes two 2x4s are less expensive and more abundant than a single 4x4.
-
Comprehensive Guides: My plans include clear, step-by-step instructions, complete with illustrations, making the building process straightforward and enjoyable.
-
5-gallon bucket: I sized this to hold one of those ubiquitous buckets they sell at big orange box home centers.
Recommended tools and materials:
- Table saw
- 3/4" Fortner bit
- Drill and driver (Drill press would be best)
- Sanders
- (4), 2x4 boards (8' long)
- (4) 1/4" garden edging boards (8' long)
- (16) 3" deck screws
- 3/4" diameter dowel (36" long)

The Best Wonderland Trail book out there!
Format: Paperback
To plan my Wonderland Trail hike, I bought three different books, including this one. Tami's is by FAR the best. It offers great summaries of different sections as well as detailed descriptions. So many details are covered: permits, the Spray Park and Northern Loop options, packing, caching, conditioning, etc. There are numerous maps, and all of the charts at the back really helped me plan a well-informed itinerary. Great book!
I used a hard copy edition of this book to plan my Wonderland hike (since I still really like good old-fashioned books) and then downloaded the Kindle version to my phone to use for reference on the trail. After a quick read each night, I could hit the trail the next morning well-prepared for the day ahead!
I should point out that I did also bring along a Green Trails map of the Wonderland Trail, which I really only wanted to identify mountains, etc.

Best guide book I've ever purchased
Format: Paperback
This book is outstanding! Even though we backpacked the Northern Loop instead of Wonderland, there were sections in the book covering some of the camps we hiked to over our five nights in the back country. And then I ran the Wonderland Trail over three days the following week, so I was eagerly reading each night in my tent to see what I would be discovering on the trail. The author is a very good writer, knows her craft extremely well, and has obviously spent ample time in this absolute treasure of a national park. Thank you so much for writing such a valuable book.

Very Helpful Trip Planner
Format: Paperback
Good descriptions of trails, directions, and overview of each trail. I bought it to plan a trip in the Wonderland, but I realize that could be a book in itself. The information was a bit basic, but it did provide details on the different campsites that helped make decisions on which to stay at. All in all I would definately recommend!

The best guide out there for the Wonderland.
My husband and I used this book to plan our hike last year and it was an awesome guide. It breaks down your options based on direction you are traveling, number of days taken, and even difficulty level. We looked at the other books about the wonderland and really feel like this one was the best.
If you are thinking of doing to Wonderland, you should buy this book, but don't expect to take it with you (unless you get the kindle), as others mentioned its a bit heavy.
EDIT *
After talking to Tami, I realized that some of the information I reviewed about the book was incorrect. I would like to point out, like she did, that there is an appendix that lists the number of sites each camp has (I previously assumed this information was missing from the book). This is an important bit of information we overlooked when it comes to applying for permits, as some of the camps only have a few spots available each night! Also, Sunrise visitor center was open past Labor Day BUT the restaurant was not and oh how disappointing that was! So definitely call and talk to someone at the park before making plans for a hamburger or milkshake.

Great book on a great trail
Format: Paperback
A wonderful book with great pictures and rich details on the trail experience. Highly recommended. For me, it brought back rich memories of a family-group hike 38 years ago: my mother at 78, myself at 44, my brother at 40, a young adult friend in her thirties, three teen-age boys (two during one section, a different one during the rest). and three daughters (14, 10, and 8). It was a great experience for us all. Get the book as a valuable enticement and guide, and go for it!
