Creating a foldable outdoor plant box is a fantastic DIY project for gardeners who need portable and space-saving storage. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you build one:

Materials Needed:

- Plywood or cedar planks (for durability)

- Hinges (4-6 for folding mechanism)

- Screws and wood glue

- Waterproof sealant

- Measuring tape and saw

- Sandpaper

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Measure and Cut: Decide on the size of your plant box and cut the wood into panels (base, sides, and ends). Sand the edges for a smooth finish.

2. Assemble the Base: Attach the side panels to the base using screws and wood glue for extra stability.

3. Add Hinges: Attach hinges to the side panels so they can fold inward. Ensure they move smoothly.

4. Seal the Wood: Apply waterproof sealant to protect the box from outdoor elements.

5. Test the Fold: Open and close the box to ensure it folds neatly for storage.

This collapsible plant box is perfect for storing gardening tools, pots, or even small plants when not in use. Customize the size and finish to match your outdoor space!
