These were modified from Ron Hazelton's design, with pocket screws used for all joints. I debated using keepers for the slats on the planters, but in the end I used pocket screws to add to the strength and stability. Kreg deck jig used for the seats!

Hi usmc;
I got the idea from one of Ron Hazelton's videos, which you can see here.
I changed a few things;
One thing I liked about Ron's plan was that you don't try to build any bottom in the planters; just use 2-by and boards. This lets you set the inside height to whatever you want, depending on the height of the plant and container. Also, it lets water and everything else wash down through rather than collect, a problem with some other planters I've made.
With all the changes, I ended up having to come up with my own measurements, but that wasn't too hard. I made all the squares for the benches first, then completed the benches. Once they were done that gave me the finished height and width for the planter boxes.
where can I find the design?
Awesome project and awesome view! Thanks for sharing, Derek!

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…

Several months ago, I purchased the Kreg K4MS so that I could build the Lego Table as outlined on the companion "buildsomething" web site which exclusively uses pocket hole construction. I have considerable experience with conventional…
