Planter Box

Overview

A planter box is a large raised garden container for flowers, herbs, or shrubs on a patio or along a wall. It brings greenery to hard surfaces without an in-ground bed. It shines lining a deck edge, defining a border, or framing an entryway.

Sizing & placement

The box is 48 inches wide and a slim 18 inches deep at 24 inches tall, so it hugs a wall or railing while raising plants to a workable height. Its narrow depth lets it edge a path or patio without blocking traffic.

Where it works

Patios, decks, balconies, and garden borders; modern, farmhouse, and contemporary outdoor styles.
