• a circular saw;
• a meter ;
• wood glue;
• a screw gun;
• screws ;

We start by selecting the necessary materials. The lattice we buy must be strong enough to support the weight of the chosen decorative plants. The same goes for the wooden planks we are going to select. They should have a thickness adapted to support the lattice. Here are the steps to follow in this tutorial.

How to make a DIY lattice for your outdoor gardener

The first step in the manufacture of trellis planters is to assemble the trellis and the wooden planks that provide additional support.

View in galleryPlanter with external lattice to make oneself | 8/49

For that, we start by measuring the lattice. Each board is then cut so that it corresponds to the height of the lattice. The same procedure is repeated on the width of the lattice; then, boards are cut for these parts of the lattice too.

At this stage, it is possible to assemble the wooden plank support and the lattice. Wood glue is applied to the boards and fastened to the trellis. For greater strength, the screw gun is used to screw together the support and the lattice.

Note: the lower part of the trellis being installed inside the planter, we do not need to create a support for her.

After finishing with this step, we move on to the next one. Lacquer is applied to the wooden trellis and the weaning planks to give them a nice finish and to protect the wood surface from moisture.

Once the wooden parts are dry, we assemble the parts of the planter with latticework. This step may require some effort, so be sure to follow the directions outlined below.

To begin with, a small amount of soil is placed at the bottom of the planter. This step aims to create a stable base for the trellis.

Then we place the trellis in the center of the planter and we install some additional supports. These can be fairly broad stones or pieces of solid wood. We continue filling the floor planter.

Before filling the planter completely, pieces of wood are cut to fit into the open spaces between the base of the trellis and the side of the planter. These pieces are placed vertically to create additional support for the lattice. Finally, you finish by filling the planter with the rest of the soil.

More experienced DIYers can embark on a DIY gardening project with latticework to make from scratch. In this case, they will be able to realize an outdoor planter in planks of wood and the lattice in wire rope and metal pipes. Below, the list of materials to buy before starting the DIY project:

• planks of wood (the size is to be determined according to that of the gardener that one wishes to build);
• a circular saw;
• wood screws;
• attached greenhouses;
• wood lacquer
• casters (optional);
• plastic protection;
• galvanized flanges and elbows;
• galvanized wire rope (depending on the desired mesh size);
• galvanized pipes (depending on the size of the desired lattice);
• turnbuckles;
• an instrument for cutting the cable (of one’s choice);
• of the ground ;
• climbing plants.

We start by preparing all the materials needed to realize the DIY planter with wood and metal lattice. Then follow the steps described in the tutorial below which is divided into five parts: the manufacture of the base, the preparation of the planter, the construction of the frame of the lattice, the realization of the lattice and the addition of plants.

To make the base of DIY planter with lattice, we use wooden planks. Cut pieces to make the main construction of the planter in the desired size.

The boards are fixed with screws; for greater strength, you can also rely on a solution with glue and screws.

Then we go to the next step of this part of the tutorial. It is related to the manufacture of additional supports for DIY wood planter.

These are to be made in small pieces of wood installed in the inner part of the planter. These pieces ensure the solidity of the final creation.

To finish with this part of the gardening DIY tutorial, we move to the installation of the wheels. So turn the wood construction upside down and fix the wheels on the bottom with screws.

Good to know: the type of wheels chosen should match the size of the wooden planter and its weight (to take into account also, the weight of the ground and the lattice).

Prepare the DIY planter with lattice in wood and metal

At this stage, we prepare his DIY wood planter to pour the soil. This procedure is done in two steps. First, we install planks of wood at the bottom of the planter to create a support for the soil. Then, we install the plastic protection that will hold the soil inside the planter with latticework.

Once the protection is placed in the planter, a few holes are made to drain the soil. We make sure that the holes correspond to the free space between the boards at the bottom of the DIY planter.

Good to know: this step is also a good time to paint or laquer the surface of your creation. Covering the trellis with a layer of lacquer or paint is essential since it will facilitate its maintenance. Select products for outdoor use, such as boat lacquer that provides excellent water resistance and increases the life of the wood.

How to build DIY lattice frame for its outdoor planter

Let’s move on to DIY lattice manufacturing. For this step, galvanized pipes and elbows are laid on a flat surface to form a frame. The metal elements are to be fixed using the flanges.

Once the structure is completed, it can be installed on the DIY wood planter. This is done with the help of wood screws.

How to make DIY wire mesh gardening

The next step of the garden planter with lattice is to produce the wire mesh. These cables are to be installed on the wooden boards and fasten together with turnbuckles.

View in galleryPlanter with external lattice to make oneself | 28/49

For the first step, we make holes in the pieces of wood DIY gardener. The screws to hold the cables are inserted. Next, the length of the desired wire rope is cut. The cut cable is mounted vertically by attaching it to the screws installed in the wooden pieces (on both sides of the planter).

Then, we move to the vertical installation of the wire rope. The cable is stretched vertically and attached to both sides of the construction with turnbuckles. The procedure is repeated to make the entire lattice.

The gardener with trellis being finished, we go to the stage of planting flowers in the planter. We fill the building with soil and install plants such as jasmine, vines, ivy … It is also possible to use this type of large flower pot for a vegetable garden. In this case, we will select plant species such as strawberries or pumpkins, for example. And, thanks to the wheels, you can move your big outdoor flower pot in the sunniest area of ​​its exterior!

During this procedure, attach a small piece of the plant stem to each wire rope. This is a way to ensure that the plant will climb on the DIY lattice thus realized.

The size of the planter and the do-it-yourself lattice will depend essentially on the surface available. But they are to be determined also according to the use that one will make of it.

A planter with a vegetable garden trellis will occupy more space than a decorative flower pot. This is so because it is supposed to accommodate more plants and increase the production of the garden.

This is the same principle that applies to trellis planters acting as a breeze. Their size will be determined by that of the area that we want to protect from prying eyes.

The DIY trellis that complements the gardener to make oneself can also vary in size and shape. In addition to the options of planter on feet or on wheels seen in the tutorials, one can also opt for a planter leaning against a wall.

This option will allow us to install the DIY lattice directly on the wall, using nails, rope or screws. Suddenly, the options of materials for manufacturing trellis become very numerous.

Pieces of wood, rods and wire are suitable for this type of project. Fine, they become almost invisible when covered with flowering plants.

The fine structures mounted on a wall give us the freedom to play with the shape of the DIY latticework. Classical geometric shapes will be supplanted by more original ideas on the support side.
