Pyramid Planter Plans

If you want to learn more about how to build a pyramid, we recommend you to pay attention to the instructions described in the article. Select the right pyramid planter plans for your needs and invest in high-quality materials. Work with attention and plan every aspect of the construction from the very beginning, in order to keep the costs under control and to save time. Cedar, pine or redwood would provide a decent compromise between looks and durability.

Use a circular saw to adjust the size of the components, after marking accurate cut lines. Smooth the cut edges with a piece of sandpaper and remove the residues before fitting them into place. Drill pocket holes before inserting the screws, in order to prevent the wood from splitting and to create a rigid structure. Check if the corners are right-angled after fitting each component, as they usually move from position easily.

Building a pyramid planter

Building the bottom planter

The first step of the woodworking project is to build the bottom planter. Drill pocket holes at both ends of the short components and secure them to the perpendicular components. Make sure the corners are right-angled and leave no gaps between the components.

Building the second tier

Continue the project by assembling the second tier planter. Cut the 1×8 components and secure them together, as described above. Work with attention and attach the 1×4 legs to create the structure that is described in the diagram.

Building the third tier

The third planter should be built in the same manner described above, but you need to pay attention to the instructions from the diagram. Attach the legs to the planter with galvanized screws, as you need to create a rigid structure.

Assembling the planter

Select the right location for the pyramid planter and assemble the planter as described in the diagram. Make sure the surface is even and fill the planters with soil. Make sure there are no gaps between the components.

Last but not least, you should take acre of the finishing touches. Fill the holes with putty and smooth the surface with fine-grit sandpaper. Clean the residues before applying the coat of paint.

PRO TIP: Fill the holes with a good wood filler and smooth the surface with 120-grit sandpaper. Apply several coats of paint or stain over the components, in order to protect them from decay.
