![]() ![]() In this step, you are going to cut out an “L” at the bottom of your uprights. ![]() Once the starting hole is done, mark a line on the other end of where you will need to stop the router so that you don’t go all the way through the other side. Only go as deep as the router will go, again you don’t want anything showing on the outside of the frame. A drill press with a bit that is slightly wider than your router bit will also work, we just don’t have one, so we improvised. To get the channel started, we used our Dremmel to hollow out part of the channel so that the router bit would fit into it. We started our channel in 1″ from either end to ensure that when the frame was assembled, you would not see any of the channels from the outside of the frame. ![]() You will want a wider section as that will eventually be used to attach the lattice frame to the box, and you want a nice sturdy depth to ensure that the lattice will be able to withstand winds or heavy plant matter climbing the trellis.įor the top cap, you will not want to cut your channel from end to end as that will make the outer edge of your frame look a little odd where the corners will be joined. This left us with 1-1/2″ on the back edge of the channel once cut. We set ours so that it was 1/2″ from the front edge. You will want the channel to be off-centre. We used our router table to cut this, however if you do not have a router table, just setup some sort of guide to ensure you are getting a nice straight line with your router. It worked out very well for us.įor the uprights, the 2″ x 3″ x 6′ you can cut the channel from end to end, making it a very easy channel to cut. In order to get a straight line, we measured in 4 different places and used a large ruler to draw the line that we needed to follow. Cutting the lattice in a straight line if you do not have a table saw, which we did not. We also chose to plane the frame lumber for a nice sharp edge, but you don’t need to do that if you do not have a planer. The lattice should be 4′ tall) DRAWINGĬut all your lumber to the cut list. You will want to cut the lattice 2″ shorter than the length of your planter. You will want the top cap to be the same length as the planter)ġ – 4′ x 4′ 10″ lattice (length depends on the length of your planter. You will want 3′ 11″ + height of your planter)ġ – 2″ x 3″ x 5′ (length depends on the length of your planter. I have made notes on how to adjust based on the size of your planter.Ģ – 2″ x 3″ x 6′ (length depends on the height of your planter. *For this cut list, I am making the trellis for the 5′ planter in the previous post.

Here are the plans for building the trellis that can be added to the planter boxes I previously provided plans for. ![]()
