Assembling a Planter
Almost any concrete edging can be used to create planters. Our
choice—a columnar design,
left
—forms corners without obvious
seams. You’ll need flat concrete steppers for the base. Before
buying, measure to make sure the steppers are an appropriate size.

GLUE EDGING Apply
block adhesive to each
corner joint, then
assemble edgers. Adjust
as needed to make sure
they form a true square.
APPLY BASE Run a
bead of adhesive along
the bottom edge (leave
gaps for drainage), then
place the steppers. Let
harden for
24
hours.

DRY RUN Assemble the
planter—without
gluing—to ensure the
pieces fit. Assembly is
upside down, so the
steppers go on top.
