Nice planter.

This looks good to me.

I’ll have to remember this as I’d like to build something similar. We are tearing down an old cedar fence because some of it blew over. It’s at least 35-years old, according to one of the neighbors. At any rate, I’d like to reuse some of the pickets and was thinking about making something similar to this. I will not be applying any sort of finish.

Favorited, for future reference.

is that thing full depth? I normally put a false bottom about 2/3’s up. This way it dont cost so much to fill, But this all depends on the plants going into it. For flowers ts ok as depth isnt as important, But Veggies is a different story.

Great job on the build, And I”m sure you’ll get the finish right. Have you considered deck finish?

Thank you for the comments. The bottom is actually in line with the bottom rail. I think the design was intended for fair size plants or vegetables although there are just a few flowers in it for now. You’re right though, a false bottom would mean less weight (i.e. strain on the structure) and cheaper too!
