To protect and prolong the sleeper life, heavy duty black plastic lining can be applied inside the planter box for an additional $6 per linear meter. This is normally inserted below the top sleeper and to the base of the planter box.

Bevelled reeding

For larger wooden planter boxes with a bit more height, a plain wall might be improved visually by reeding along all the edges. This transforms a flat surface into horizontal sections and can look quite attractive. The photo on the right shows a stained wooden planter wall with 10mm reading. The cost of reeding is an additional $18 per layer.  (it dramatically enhances the finish)

Timber planter boxes can be used for a variety of functions and often look best when they double up and serve multiple purposes. A simple ledge on top is all that is sometimes required to give it that extra functional aspect. Planter boxes can be used to hid an ugly pot or to simply be filled with soil or potting mix to create a planting environment. Care needs to be taken to ensure moisture is not in constant contact with the timber as most timbers will perish if they are covered in soil and/or damp environments. Therefore if you are intending to place soil directly into planter boxes make sure they have a liner and are well drained.

In reality, solid planter boxes can be made from almost any timber and in any size. They can have a rustic treated pine look or be made of dressed merbau and have their surface oiled to a smooth finish. The choice is governed by what will look best in your intended area.
