Floating planter box

[ProjectPete]

So I got a little handy over the weekend after a request from my creative #wifey to make a floating planter box for some indoor plants. We're really happy with the result - what do you think?

Needless to say, I've already been tasked with making more

It looks great @ProjectPete! How did you attach it to the wall?

[ProjectPete]

Thanks @Darren. Attached to wall with a couple of sleeve anchors. The hex nut option makes it a bit easier to fasten over a phillips head.

I didn't write the dimensional specs down as I made them to fit the space, but these are the bit of wood I got from Bunnings.

Front, back, sides

Bottom - I joined this side by side to achieve 84mm width.

Everything is biscuit joined, then lined with black plastic and fixed to wall with the sleeve anchors.

Looks fantastic. Well done.

Very nice, I like the tapered sides.
