I would like to make some Standing Planter Boxes at different heights. I saw some online on a website, but I'm not paying $200. for just one!!! Can anyone suggest how to make them?? I'm thinking about making them in a square shape and a rectangle shape, maybe about 36" in height. I beleive Cedar is the best wood, am I right??? I was thinking about lining them with some sort of a plastic liner.

Thanks,

MsWndstr
