Finding the right resources to build custom-sized urban planter boxes is easier than you think. Whether you have a specific balcony corner to fill or want tiered planters for your patio, several excellent sources offer plans and kits tailored to your space.
For the hands-on DIYer, digital plan stores like Etsy and specialized woodworking websites (e.g., Ana White, The Inspired Workshop) are treasure troves. They sell detailed, downloadable plans for planter boxes in various styles and sizes, often with customization tips. Many bloggers and gardening sites also offer free plans with step-by-step instructions and material lists.
If you prefer a kit with pre-cut materials, check out companies like Greenes Fence, Yardistry, or Plow & Hearth. They offer modular raised bed kits that can often be configured in different dimensions. For a truly bespoke solution, local carpenters or makerspaces can create plans or kits to your exact specifications, using durable, outdoor-safe materials like cedar or composite lumber.
Remember to consider material (cedar resists rot), drainage (drill holes!), and size (ensure it fits your space) when choosing your project. With the right plan or kit, you can build functional and beautiful planters that transform your urban oasis.
