Start by removing any residue/rubber/plastic from the top of the unit.

We have used old fence panels, painted in random left over pots of external wood paint to build a top. This frames the unit and gives it a finish.

Mark 45 degree angles at the appropriate length to create four pieces of wood.

Cut with a handsaw.

Using the predrilled holes the wood was screwed from underneath to attach.

The next step to place the planter in the garden. To improve drainage we placed the planter in it’s finished place on the lawn and marked round.

The grass turf was removed and the base of the planter set into the hole.

Lastly the planter was filled with soil and the grass plant planted.
