Hydroponic AutoPot Planter Box
Wednesday, March 29th, 2006
Over the weekend I built a couple planter boxes to hold my Hydroponic AutoPots. I didn’t want just a square box, so I came up with this design.
Each box uses about 1 - 1″ X 12″ X 8′ Cedar board for the front and sides, and about 1-1/2 - 1″ X 2″ X 8′ Pressure Treated boards for the bottom shelf.
Although I designed these planter boxes specifically to hold my Hydroponic AutoPots they can also be used with regular pots. Please feel free to download your own free plans for the Hydroponic AutoPot Planter Box.

These have a nice look. I see that the upright supports are EMT. How does teh EMT hold up to rain. Will it need to be sealed to prevent rust? The plans do not show the supports. How are they installed? Do you have any recommendations?

Don’t know about the rain yet, but they were cheap enough to replace next year if they rust out too much. As far as installation goes, I just screwed them to the side of the box using EMT conduit clamps.
