Demonstration- Drilling your Drainage Holes
Part of Lesson Plan: Redwood Planter Box Project
Activity Overview / Details
Drilling your Holes
1. Turn your Planter over. Measure your bottom, 1 ¾"
from one side and 3 ½" from the leg. Mark it On the same
side, measure in 9" from the same reference side and Mark it the
same distance from the side. From the opposite end measure in 3
½" and 1 ¾" from the side and mark it. You should
have three marks that run along the same side.
2. On the other side measure in 6" and 1 ¾" from the
side and mark it, do the same from the opposite end. Now, you have
two marks on one side and three marks on the other side.
