An heirloom-quality outdoor planter built from Western Red Cedar, designed to handle heavy soil loads and high wind resistance. Features a mortised or pocket-screwed panel design with robust 2x2 corner posts that transition into a tall, integrated trellis. Solid 1x2 trellis slats are half-lapped for stability, and structural components are secured with stainless steel fasteners and marine-grade waterproof adhesive to prevent corrosion and wood rot.
