* Board Dimensions are "nominal". Actual dimensions are smaller due to lumber industry standards. Cuts are actual length.
** Starting grit will depend on board surface condition, a rough surface will require starting with a coarse grit rst.
Grit is measured in the coarseness of the particles on the sandpaper. The lower the grit number, the coarser the paper. Heavy sand-
ing would require 60 to 80 grit, medium sanding would require 120 to 220 grit, and nish sanding would require 320 to 400 grit.
Super ne sanding would be 600 grit and higher.
A select/premium board or plywood comes with a smoother surface nish. It is clear or has very few tight knots, and it will have
straight and sharp edges. This grade of wood pairs well with other boards or panels better and requires less time to sand and nish.

Assembly Instructions
Step 1
Cut out all material using the Lumber & Sheet Cut Layout Guide.
Step 2
Take the (4) 1”x 3”x 23-13/16” front and back stiles
and mark points for countersink holes. Follow
the diagram for hole locations and be sure to drill
holes on the correct edges (see diagram).
Drill countersink holes in boards so you have (2)
sets of symmetrical stiles.
Step 3
Mark points for the countersink holes on the (2)
1” x 2” x 17-5/8” inner top rails and the (2) 1” x 2”
x 13-7/16” inner bottom rails. Follow diagram for
measurements.
Drill countersink holes in both sets.

Step 4
Mark points for the countersink holes on the (2)
1”x 2”x 16-1/8”side inner top rails and (2) 1”x 2”x
12-1/4”side inner bottom rails. Follow diagram for
measurements.
Drill countersink holes in both sets.
Step 5
Take the (2) 1”x 3” x 14-1/4” shelf support boards
and mark for countersink holes on both ends. Follow
the diagram for measurements. The supports will be
symmetrical.
Drill countersink holes in both.
Step 6
Take the (4) 1”x 2” x 11-1/4” shelf slats, nd the center
line, and mark a point 3/8”from each end.
Drill countersink holes at each point.

Step 7
On the (4) 2”x 2”x 23-5/8”inner frame boards, mark a
point 7/8”from each end on (1) surface. Then mark a
point 1”from each end on (1) surface. Make sure the
markings match the diagram.
Drill countersink holes.
Then use a 1/8”drill bit and continue drilling holes
through the board at each countersink hole.
Step 8
To build the front frame, take (2) of the 1”x 3”x 23-13/16”
stiles, (1) of the 1”x 3” x 14-1/8” top rails, (1) of the 1”x 3”
x 10” bottom rails and align them to match the diagram.
Place a small amount of glue at each joint.
Repeat this step to create the back frame.
Step 9
Align the 1”x 2” x 13-7/16” inner bottom rail to the
center of the bottom frame rail. Apply glue to the
joining surfaces and attach using #8 x 1-1/4”wood
screws. Repeat on second frame.

Align the 1”x 2” x 17-5/8” inner top rail to the center
of the top frame rail. Apply glue to the joining
surfaces and attach using #8 x 1-1/4”wood screws.
Repeat on second frame.
Step 12
Add the 1”x 2” x 16-1/8” top and 1” x 2”
x 11-15/16” bottom inner side rails in
the center of the side frame. Apply glue
to the joining surfaces and attach using
#8 x 1-1/4” wood screws.
Step 11
To build the side frames, take (2) of the
1”x 2”x 23-7/8” stiles, (1) of the 1” x 3” x
14-5/8” top rails, (1) of the 1”x 3”x 10-1/2”
bottom rails and align them to match the
diagram.
Place a small amount of glue and each
joint. Repeat to build the second side.

Step 13
Attach the front frame to (1) of the side frames
using #8 x 1-1/4 wood screws. These wood
screws will be used to attach all frames.

Step 16
The dimensions for the metal insert (referred to in
Step 17) are shown in the diagram.
Step 18
Use the Aviation Snips to cut along the line. A total
of (4) panels will need to be cut.
Step 17
Mark the insert shape on the corrugated panel using a
Hart Fine Tip Marker.

Step 19
Place (1) metal insert into (1) side of the frame. It will
rest between the inner rails
Step 21
Place (4) 2”x 2” x 23-5/8” inner frame boards into the
planter box. They should be even with the bottom
edge. Make sure the countersink holes are facing
outwards as shown in the diagram.
Attach using the #8 x 2-1/2”wood screws in the top
and bottom.
These boards will hold the metal inserts in place.
Step 20
Add the other (3) inserts to each frame opening.

12
Step 22
Mark a point 12-5/8” from the bottom on all (4) inner
frame boards.
Step 24
Equally space the (4) 1”x 2” x 11-1/4” shelf slats on
the support boards and attach with #8 x 1-1/4”wood
screws.
Step 23
Align the top edge of the 1”x 3”x 14-1/4” shelf
support boards to the 12-5/8” lines made in Step 22.
Attach using the #8 x 1-1/4”wood screws.

Rougher finish – Use 60-80 grit sandpaper to hand sand
with the grain of the wood.
Smoother finish – Use 60-80 grit sandpaper to remove
scratches & imperfections.
Followed by using 120-220 grit to smooth.
Finish Sanding – Use 320-400 grit sandpaper
Super fine sanding – Use 600+ grit sandpaper
Step 25
Sand and nish to your desire.
Because of the multiple angles, the end boards will have a slight
mismatch. They can be sanded even at this point.
Add owerpot to the planter.
