5 FT. TRUG PLANTER PLANS
Our most popular size.
This medium sized
planter is just the right
size for growing
vegetables, herbs, and
strawberries. Three legs
give it plenty of
strength. Materials for
this one will cost around
$100 if you make it out
pressure treated
lumber. A good weekend
woodworking project!
63” x 26” wide x 32” tall.
RAISED TROUGH PLANTER
These pictures show a similar planter I built with the hopes of
sharing the plans with you. Unfortunately a company with the
name Veg-Trug has a patent on the design with H-shaped legs.
They had issues with me offering plans for something that looks
like their planter. Silly, I know! There are some affiliate links to
the right if you want to get one of theirs. But if you’re here,
you’re likely looking to build your own.
This raised garden bed is almost 6 ft. long, 30" wide, and stands
30" tall. Lots of room for planting herbs, flowers, and vegetables.

How to Build a Raised Garden Trug Planter
Huge raised garden bed design! These trug-shaped planters have
plenty of room for growing vegetables, herbs, or flowers. No more
bending over! You can build it yourself and be the envy of all your
gardening neighbors. The downloadable woodworking plans read like a
book. A craftsman will take you step by step through construction with
easy to follow diagrams and photos at every step along the way. Plans
include at least 50 pages of full color photos and DIY instructions.
The design is similar to the popular Veg-Trug planter, but this
planter is even better with an X-shaped, sturdy frame. There are no
nails. Everything is screwed and bolted construction.
The instructional guides show you how to build each planter out of
long-lasting treated lumber, but you can also make it out of
standard lumber and paint it if you’d like. Nice!
RAISED BED GARDENING
Raised bed gardening is an effective and efficient way to grow
vegetables and herbs. The soil conditions can be controlled much
easier, and you don’t have the compaction you find in the ground.
This allows roots to grow quickly in a well-drained and loose
environment. Elevated garden beds allow you to fertilize and remove
weeds easier too. Those with little room for an actual garden will
find raised beds a useful alternative. Those gardeners with
disabilities can enjoy gardening with a raised garden too. Kneeling
and bending over is eliminated, so your back will thank you!
Downloadable woodworking plans include
pictures and easy to follow instructions.
The plans read like a book, with actual
construction photos explained in detail at
every step. Material and tool lists
included. Plans are in PDF format and can
viewed on your computer or you can print
them on 8.5 x 11 paper.
