Finished Planter Box. 3.25.22

I found some deck stain in the garage.  I've been waiting for a nice day to stain the planter box that I built from weathered cedar.  The stain will help it last a few more years than if I left it unstained.

Completed project.


Here's what it looked like before I  leaned up the wood and stained it.


Here is the source fencing that I took apart and cut to build the box.  I used about seven fencing sections like this one.



Absolutely everything for the planter box was sourced from these fencing sections - even the brackets and screws.  The deck stain had been sitting in the garage for at least a decade, and I had been thinking about how do I recycle or dispose of it.  While I could just buy everything new, I take quite a bit of pride in looking at something old and thinking, what can I do to make something good.
