Creating an outdoor plant box with wheels is a practical solution for gardeners who want flexibility in arranging their green spaces. Here’s a simple DIY guide to build your own movable planter box.

Materials Needed:

- Wooden planks (cedar or pressure-treated lumber recommended)

- 4 heavy-duty swivel casters

- Screws and waterproof wood glue

- Drill and saw

- Measuring tape and pencil

- Sandpaper and outdoor sealant

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Measure and Cut the Wood:

Decide on the size of your plant box (e.g., 24"x12"x12"). Cut the wooden planks into panels for the base, sides, and ends.

2. Assemble the Box:

Attach the side panels to the base using screws and wood glue. Reinforce the corners for stability.

3. Add the Wheels:

Flip the box upside down and attach the swivel casters to each corner of the base. Ensure they’re securely fastened to handle the weight.

4. Sand and Seal:

Smooth rough edges with sandpaper and apply an outdoor sealant to protect the wood from moisture.

5. Fill and Plant:

Add drainage holes if needed, fill with soil, and plant your favorite flowers or herbs.

Tips:

- Use larger wheels for uneven surfaces.

- Line the box with landscape fabric to prevent soil leakage.

Now you have a portable plant box to easily move around your patio or garden!
