Cedar Tiered Planter

For each box: bottom first, then the two end caps, then measure YOUR box and cut the sides to fit before stapling them on. Build all three, then drill three or four drainage holes in each bottom — stacked tiers turn one soggy box into three.

Staple the two 24" back legs to the back of the bottom box, flush as shown, then add the 1x2 cross support 6" up from the legs' bottoms. This little H is the planter's spine.

Cut the two front legs at 30° both ends — ends PARALLEL, short point to long point, so the same lean lands flat top and bottom — and attach flush with the top of the back legs. The rake these set is the whole display geometry.

Position the middle and top boxes on the angled front legs and attach with screws driven from INSIDE the boxes into the legs — the source staples everything else but recommends screws here, and rightly: these joints carry wet soil down a slope.

Fill, plant thirsty things low and dry things high, and put it where the kitchen door can reach it mid-recipe.
