My husband built me some planter boxes the other day out of house siding and cedar 1x2s.
(These are some of my poor, neglected mums that 1 of the boxes was built for.)

He made a rectangle the size of the box he wanted to build, he placed itabout 2"up from the bottom of the siding pieces and used it to nail/guerrilla glue the siding to. He then built another rectangle out of cedar and used it as a top rim.

To keep the whole thing up off the ground he put a cedar strip on the bottom edge at each end.

Finally, he drilled drain holes, painted the whole thing with 2 coats of oil-based enamel and put in rope handles on each end to make moving it super easy.

The inside dimensions are 47" x 10" x 8.625" deep.
