7.
Use a rubber mallet to tap an ASSEMBLED 4' PANEL into the open channel of a
CORNER, positioning it so the attached PLATFORM SUPPORT sits underneath the
PLATFORM SUPPORT on the side panel (
Figs. 2 & 3
). Make sure the top of the
ASSEMBLED 4' PANEL sits 1/8" above the top of the CORNER and is fully seated inside,
then insert SCREWS into the holes in the CORNER and through the lined up holes
in the ends of the PLATFORM SUPPORTS. Repeat to attach the other ASSEMBLED 4'
PANEL.
8.
Place the remaining side panel on a flat surface. Carefully lift the other attached
PANELS and guide the ends of the ASSEMBLED 4' PANELS into the open channels of
the CORNERS on the side panel to form a box. Insert SCREWS through the holes in
both CORNERS. Once all panels are attached, stand the PLANTER BOX on its legs.
9.
Set the FLOOR PLANKS on top of the SUPPORTS, arranging them so there are small
gaps between the planks.
NOTE:
The gaps allow water to drain. Place the FABRIC
LINER over the FLOOR PLANKS.
10.
Insert a CORNER CAP into the top of each aluminum CORNER, using a rubber mallet if necessary. Your planter box assembly is
now complete!
This elevated planter box holds almost 330 quarts or 14 cubic feet of planting mix. Fill it with Potting Mix and, if you wish, some
organic matter, such as compost. We also recommend adding a slow-release fertilizer like our Organic All-Purpose Fertilizer (sold
separately).
NOTE:
Avoid using a heavy potting soil or placing rocks and broken pottery into the Planter Box. Now you’re ready to
plant!
