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.
