Instructions for Self-Watering Elevated Planter Box and
Self-Watering Insert for Elevated Planter Box, 2' x 4'
I. Planter Box Assembly
1.
Align the short edges of two 8" or four 4" BOARDS
(rough faces up) and hold or clamp the boards together.
2.
Slide a CORNER over the short edges on one end, positioning
it as shown in
Fig. 1
. The top BOARD should come to sit ⅛
"
above the top of the CORNER.
3.
Make sure there are no gaps between BOARDS and that they
are fully seated into the CORNER. Secure with PHILLIPS SCREWS.
Leave the 2
nd
hole from the bottom open for now.
4.
Repeat the process to attach another CORNER to the other end.
5.
Align the holes at both ends of the PLATFORM SUPPORT with
the open holes in the CORNERS (these are the holes you skipped
in Step 3; see
Figs. 1 & 2
). Insert a PHILLIPS SCREW into both sets
of holes.
6.
Again using
Fig. 1
and the assembled 2' END PANEL as
references, slide 2 FLAT STOCK sections
under
the PLATFORM
SUPPORT. Align the 2
nd
holes from the bottom of the FLAT
STOCK with the holes in the PLATFORM SUPPORT and make sure
the FLAT STOCK is straight. Secure the FLAT STOCK into place
with PHILLIPS SCREWS at all points.
7.
Repeat Steps 2–5 to assemble the opposite side panel.
