Step 1: Find Some Pallets and Cut Them Down

For one planter, you need 2 pallets.

Remove planks with crowbar to have 9 or 10 of it.

Cut one pallet in two piece, keaping only 2 planks attached (base of the planter).

Cut two of the planks in 3 pieces, of the size of the planter's base.

Cut the small beam in 2 pieces of 1m and 4 of 20cm.

2. Small beam cutted 20cm long

4. Cutted planks

Step 2: Cut the Legs

From one big beam, cut the 4 legs, the size you want (mine are about 50cm long).

Try to have a nice cut, this will be on the ground and attached to the base so if it is not perpendicular and at
different size, the planter will not be stable.

Step 3: Assembly

Begin by fixing the plank between the two other on the base and fix the legs wih screws at the corners.

Then, start mounting the sides. Attach plank to the small wood on the corner with nails, then the side beside etc for
the complete turn.

Do it again for the 3 stages.

Place the border on the base and nail the board to the base and the border on each side.

Place the geotextile Inside and staple it.
