Planter Pergola Plans

This DIY plan walks you through building a 4x10 arbor with two large planter boxes and matching trellises, creating the perfect spot for climbing flowers, vines, or decorative plants. It’s a weekend-friendly build that uses basic tools, clear measurements, and easy-to-follow diagrams so even beginners can get great results on a small budget.

The plans include full cut lists, shopping lists, 3D step-by-step diagrams, and detailed instructions for every part of the build—from assembling the planter boxes and trellises to shaping the curved beams and installing the shade elements. You’ll also learn how to anchor the structure, prepare the wood, and apply the finish for long-lasting durability.

Whether you want an elegant garden entryway, a focal point along a walkway, or a beautiful support for your favorite climbing flowers, this planter pergola delivers both function and curb appeal. Build it once, enjoy it for years.
