Tapered Planters are made with one-and-a-half-inch thick frames. Walls are made with 5/8" X 1 3/4" vertical slats. Additional wood structural pieces are added inside and under the box as needed (depending on size) to significantly overbuild each box so it will never sag or bow. Drainage holes are 1/4” and are pre-drilled in the base. All planters are finely sanded and sealed (unless you choose to have them be shipped un-finished).
The largest tapered planter size we offer (21x28x25) is built with thicker wall slats than the other tapered sizes to withstand the additional weight and stresses of more soil and larger plants (7/8" thick walls instead of 5/8" thick).
Planters are available in any size or style. Learn more about custom planter sizing or contact us if you want a style that you don't see.
WITH OR WITHOUT SITTING LEDGE
You can choose to add a 5 1/2-Inch wide sitting ledge to the top edge of planters 24"W or wider so you can sit on the planter as you work or for a convenient additional seating space. Planters less than 24 inches wide lose too much of the opening at the top for planting since the seating ledge takes up nearly 2 1/2" inches both on the inside and outside of the planter wall (see photo above).
YOUR CHOICE OF FOUR DISTINCT DESIGNS
We offer 4 styles of Sonoma Planters. Each is priced the same. Please see the photos below that differentiate clearly the 4 Sonoma Planters we offer and just choose the style that works best for you:
