To keep things simple, let's focus on building 36 "long rectangle window and use 3 / 4" of coarse woody cypruss. The wood Cypruss action can be achieved in most local lumber stores in a variety of dimensions. For purposes of the rectangular window, they recommend a 1 card "x 8". For this rectangle will need roughly 12 feet in length. Now with mitered board to the card at 34.5 "three consecutive times such that you have three cards, one for the bottom, the front and rear. We will use screws to join these cards more firmly. Put two cards up face to face in ninety degree angle and use wood glue between them. You want to make sure you use a wood glue designed for exterior purposes. Once glued, pull some nails to nail along the join to carry out the two cards together temporarily.

Then countersink three small holes through the cards in preparation for the screws go in to assemble more securely to the ways of the cards in ninety degree. A bit countersink drill is one that deeply drilled a pilot hole and a big hole under the track so that the screw can be sunk over the face of the card. countersunk drill holes three: one at each end and one at the center.

The side piece should be cut to the measure first. Once the pieces are associated side of the rectangle structural assembly is complete. Then use a drill with drill bit 1 / 4 a 'to drill drain holes in the bottom. I recommend to put a hole in each corner of the rectangle and one in the center where water is likely to migrate most. Then inside the rectangle caulk to seal all internal joints. This will reinforce the rectangle and also keep water from filtering through. Pasado, staple a blackboard of erosion to the inside of the rectangle. The will filter into keeps out water and dirt inside. That's it, you are now ready to install and to place the flowers inside.
