My back deck is in desperate need of a transformation! If I decide to try this I’ll shoot you a photo. Thanks for sharing your idea!

In reply to Hallie. I know it seems weird. Those posts are shorter because they need to be in order for the middle planter to recess completely into the box. I could've done away with them completely, but I wanted to have some support there though, so that's why included them. Good question!

In reply to Danielle. For sure! Let me know if you end up using any of the designs, I'd love to see :)

In reply to Marti. Ha! She did pretty great with her floor plan rendering. They'll be more to come in the upcoming tutorials!

In reply to Katie. Not at all, I drilled holes in the flower boxes as well as the beverage cooler so that they will drain. It's not a problem at all. If you do attempt a this box or something similar, I'd love to see it :)

In reply to Katrina B. Yeah, you should consider it. I do have to say, we had one seam in our concrete, and it's visible on the running vertical pattern of the slats. If I had something uneven I might alternate each tile 90º so it wouldn't be so noticeable. Besides that, it's been great to have, transformed our space, and given us one more place to hang out in.

Yes, let’s do it. I’m excited to check out your desert landscaping situation.

Looks fantastic; I love plans, diagrams, and tutorials.
One thing: I don’t get the two eight-inch-long 4x4s — seem short for those middle legs.

Nice! I’ll have to share this with my SO as we’re planning a new deck. Thanks for the inspiration!

You and Gold Hive Ashley are really next-leveling with the animated illustrations this week! Nice work.

We are re-doing our patio this spring, so I think I am going to attempt this! Question – do you have trouble getting the ice out of the cooler part when you are done using it? Or is it not a problem to just let the ice melt and drain out the bottom of the planter?

Duuuude, thanks for the link back to your sweet patio. I forgot it was composite. We want to re-do our patio this year (it is currently constructed with sad, uneven pavers) and NewTech might be perfect if I can get my husband on board.

I’ll take 8 of these! Is this what we will spend all of our time doing when you visit in May?
I think so.
