Planter Box for Free

assembled planter box for chicken coop with wire grate to stop them scratching out greens but can still eat

Pallet Deconstruction

be safe and use hammer and pry bar to remove pallet boards keep nails in the boards

Reconstruct Pallet

use hammer to straighten nails if bent then proceed to connect all four corners so that each corner is nailed and braced against the other to form a square

hopefully the square should be strong enough to hold some dirt and chicken poo for fertilizer. I stacked two squares of pallets but any number would do depending on how much dirt and how high you want it .throw some seed in water then wait

Frame for Chicken Wire

same principle as before but instead of nailing side on I nailed them flat to each other with chicken wire sandwiched between boards
