Small Spaces
What We Did
We got 1×6″ pine board for the sides and feet, and plywood for the bottom of the planter. We built four triangular segments – two larger ones for the first tier, and two smaller ones for the top tier. These segments were connected using metal brackets and wood glue.
Each segment is a right triangle (for a 90° corner) with two sides of equal length, and a longer diagonal.
After assembly, we painted the planter white and planted it with a mix of edibles and ornamentals.
For a detailed step-by-step guide see the assembly slideshow below.
