As practical as a hose reel is, frankly it's just not that nice to look at. When I was making these planters for the side of our garage, I realized that because of their size, they would be a perfect place to hide the hose!
This is my second planter box tutorial. You will see very similar steps in my first one, but this box was intended to hide our hose so it's a little different. If you're looking for a simple, plain old planter box, click here. If you are looking for one to hide the hose, you're in the right place.
To recap, this was using extra wood from when we built our deck. The first few steps are the same as my plain planter box tutorial, but you can see where it gets a little different in step 4...
What I used:
2x8s
2x4s
5/4 in. x 6 in deck boards
Screws
Steel remesh and fence staples (leftover from our garden)
Hinges (leftover from when we swapped interior door hardware)
Paint
Step 1: Plan and cut material
I used a miter saw to cut my materials. I cut 12 pieces of 2x8 to 17 inches each, and I cut 2 pieces of 2x4 to 24 inches each.
Step 2: Assemble side panels
I laid out three 2x8 pieces and connected them with my 2x4s, leaving that 2.5 inch overhang at the bottom for the feet. I used cardboard to help space my 2x8s, but you don't need to do this — I just liked how it looked with a little space. I connected these using leftover 2.5 inch decking screws, and repeated this process two times — one for each side.
Step 3: Attach back and top front piece.
Next, I connected three 2x8s for the back using the same decking screws. Then I added on only the top 2x8 on the front of the planter (seen below).
Step 4: Attach the base supports
I then attached scrap 2x8s to the back and two sides, as supports for the base of the planter.

As part of a monthly blogger's challenge, I built this DIY Planter Box Bench Seat for my back yard. The challenge for this month was to build a project out of mostly 2x4 boards. Other than the lattice, I used 2x4 redwood boards for the entire project. Redwood is a little pricier than using any of the white wood boards, such as pine or Douglas Fir, but it holds up better in outdoor conditions. (Plus, if you have a wood planer, you can buy the construction grade redwood boards for much cheaper, and after running them through the planer they come out looking like the more expensive redwood boards).
