Posted 4 September 2020 5:00 PM by Jase DeBoer

You’re feeling accomplished about building your new deck, but what should you do with the leftover material that you have? There is no reason to waste perfectly good building materials. Here are some quick and easy building projects that you can tackle with your leftover deck boards.

Planter Box/Raised Garden Bed

If you are a green thumb or strive to be one like me, why not make your own planter boxes or raised garden beds. You can put them together in about the same amount of time it would take you to go to the store and buy them. Money-saving and time-saving. It’s a win-win. If you have leftover Deckorators® mineral-based composite decking, your planter box will last year-after-year. Deckorators® mineral-based composite decking is warranted for contact with ground and water, making it perfect for plantings. Take a look at these free raised planter/garden box plans.

Bird House
