Thought I'd have a little fun today. We all know if you want a big planter it will cost quite a bit of money so why not make one. Well that is just what I did.
I got hold of a plastic pallet but a wooden one will work ok as well if you treat it to stop it rotting away to quick
The pallet I got hold of was one that you could fit sides on so I built it up like this
Above you can see that inside I lined it with weed membrane to hold in the soil & compost. If you used one that had wooden sides you need to treat it before adding the membrane.
In the corners I glued four square wooden battens then I screwed on lengths of deck board to the battens, (if you used all wood pallet and sides the battens are not needed) & the sides. The top was finished off with more battens
Add a bit of paint , plant something in there
and you end up with something like this. I might add I did the same with a disused water butt. You do not have to use deck board yo can use just plain rough sawen treated timber. There you go nice little project to keep you happy
This is lovely! Good work.

I made a compost bin out of old wooden pallets a few years ago, it lasted surprisingly well but didn't look as smart as your planter.
