Outdoor DIY Table Planter plus other plant accessories to make!

March 1, 2023 by Ashley Mayes 40 Comments

Are you game for easy DIY wood projects? If so, you are going to love this DIY table planter. It’s perfect for a few succulents to be planted in!

Years ago, we wanted to upgrade our patio with some sort of DIY wood planters but also needed a table to set drinks on. Well, this planter box idea came from meshing those two things.

Today, I’m going to share more about this DIY table planter but also link to some how-to projects that I’ve done in the past for all my plants.

Outdoor DIY Table Planter plus other plant accessories to make!

DIY TABLE PLANTER

Don’t you think it’s the cutest table planter that you ever did see? Seriously though, I was just making up the wood plans as I was going along, so I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out.

It looks pretty straightforward and I think you’ll find the tutorial to be pretty straightforward but, man oh man, the math gave me headaches.

Make this Patio Table with Planters - full how-to provided!

I have to be really honest about this and say that my husband had to help me figure out the math a bit. It’s called teamwork right?! He’s great at math and I’m more of a budget and spreadsheet type girl.

There are a few steps to make this, but once you get the hang of the first box you see how the rest comes together.

I wrote this project to be shared at eHow! Hop over to see it and tell me what you think if you try making one. 

Once you make the planter, have fun with picking up your plants for it. I’d recommend succulents! I planted some a few years ago in mine and have brought the planter in every year once it gets cold.

    I just built our outdoor sofa and loveseat, and now I need to build an end table to finish off the space. This would be perfect! Way more interesting than a flat table, and you still have space for drinks!

    I love that concept. I really enjoy rustic vintage and can envision this done in old barn boards with a few vintage gardening tools hung along the sides. Gotta try it! Thx for posting.

    Hi Ashley, this is a great idea for my balcony. I’ll add mosquito-repellent plants such as lavender, marigolds, and rosemary. Thanks for the inspiration!
