Choosing the right material for your planter box is a critical decision to avoid unwanted weeds, prevent overheating or rust, and ultimately ensure a suitable grow space. There are many options but only one fits these requirements and that is wooden planter boxes.
So what type of wood is best for planter boxes? Cedar and Redwood are two of the most woods available and you can’t go wrong with either. Cedar is particularly favored because of its durable, lightweight and crack-resistant properties. Redwood, on the other hand, is naturally rot-resistant and has increased longevity but can be a more expensive option.
