How To Build a Countertop and Planter
More in Outdoors
Step 1: Construct the Frame
First construct an L-shaped frame for a bar using the cedar planks. Attach copper siding for the countertop to give it a unique look. Always wear gloves when working with copper or any other metal sheeting. Secure the copper with screws.
Step 2: Build the Planter Box
Next, construct a cedar planter box to go on the patio. The cedar accents the paver colors, and flowers add a spot of color.
Step 3: Add the Finishing Touches to the Space
Finally, plant some trees around the patio and add mulch for a finishing touch. The new plantings provide a natural backdrop for the stone patio. Intimate seating areas and a small copper fire pit round out the design, the perfect setting for relaxing and entertaining.
