Make A Garden Planter From Decking

Step 2 Cutting List

Make a cutting list of the parts you need to make the planter - then you can work out what you need to buy and what you can use from the shed.

• 6 side pieces (1400mm lengths of the decking plank).
• 6 end pieces (630mm lengths of the decking plank).
• 6 legs (30mm x 50mm x 500mm).
• 10 slats for the base.
  
• 6 lengths of timber to make a baton to hold the base slats (19mm x 32mm x Various).

TIP FROM MY DAD: Measure and cut a 'master' piece, then use it as a template to cut the rest of the pieces. That way, even if it's a little bit out, then all the pieces will still turn out the same. It's more important that it has it's own internal integrity rather than being mathematically accurate.
