How to build a planter box from pallets

The first thing to know about building a planter box is the plan, it will save you much effort giving you dimensions and details to follow.
2# Planter Box Pallets:
pallets can be found at a very low price and even sometimes for free. You want to find the most usable wood pallets as a length of 3 feet (0.9 m) and from 2.5 to 6-inches width (6.4 to 15.2 cm)
After that, detach the pallets with a jig or a circular saw to cut the ends.
3# Assemble the Bottom & top frame:
According to the plan and the planter we want to achieve, we need a bottom, sides, and top frame. After detaching the pallets you should have 14 or 18 pieces. Cut them to the desirable planter width. Mold with glue and nails. It should be something like that:
4# Attach sides and top:
Now attach your sides to the bottom & top frame also with nails & glue.
