In this video tutorial, I will show you how I built these planter benches as a way to also fence in my vegetable garden. You can build this out of different kinds of materials, such as cedar, pressure-treated lumber, or composite decking like I do in this video. Composite decking is the most expensive of the three, but it requires absolutely zero maintenance. If you’re using wood, you will have to paint or use a clear coat every year to protect it from the elements. The length of the project that I have here in this video is 39 1/2 feet. It includes six planters and five benches. The braces are functional, but the curved feature is for aesthetics. You can build these planters without the curve as well since that feature does require additional tools. If you’re interested in buying the plans just know that at the time of posting this video this project (using composite decking) cost me about $1800(northeast US prices). If you want to save on the overall cost, you can use pressure-treated wood and save you about half.
