We wanted a raised planter for our deck so we could plant some lettuce and a few herbs. I had some cedar purchased for a project last year that never happened so I came up with this.I had previously built a window box and while I planned for wood movement I did not account for as much as it required. Lets just say it required a major refit after one season. I didn't want the same to happen here so I planed for much more wood movement in the design and I avoided places water could pool as much as possible.We have chosen to keep the wood without finish, my wife wants it to grey. After we get a bit of age on it I may add some sort of finish to halt the process at least for a while. Of course I will have to do that when there is nothing planted in it.
