DIY Triangle Wall Planter
Supplies:
Wood Glue
3 – 1×2 boards cut to desired length for sides of the triangle (mine are 16in) (I highly recommend
using a “premium” cut of wood.)
1 – 1×2 cut to 107/8
3 – Screws at least 1in in length but not longer than 2in (A biscuit jointer may be used instead of
screws.)
3 – Mending plates (or flat corner braces) no longer than 2in in length and screws no longer than
5/8in in length. (A biscuit jointer with size 0 biscuits may be used instead of the mending
plates/flat corner braces.)
Saw
Drill/screw driver
Protractor
Straight edge
2 – Clamps (Not required, but makes attaching the shelf much easier.)
Instructions:
- With your a 16in 1×2 laid out horizontally in front of you, measure out and mark 27/8in from the top corner of each end of your board. Using the straight edge, draw a line from the mark to the near side bottom corner on each end of your wood. Use the protractor to ensure that this line forms a 30 degree angle with the bottom of the board.
- If your angle is correct carefully cut each end of your board along the 30 degree line and repeat on each end of the remaining two boards.
- Using the mending plates or flat corner braces glue and fasten the triangle together.
- Once the triangle is strong/sturdy after proper construction, lay the triangle in front of you with one tip of the triangle pointing away from you. Take the 107/8in board and line it up with the inside of your triangle. (The inside of your triangle should also be roughly 107/8in long). Once in place, clamp the board and the triangle together.
- Once the board is securely clamped to the triangle, flip it over and use screws to attach the shelf from the back. (If you happen to have a biscuit jointer, this may be used instead of screws.)
- Remove the clamps. You can leave unstained, or paint in the color you prefer.
