Why You Might Want Hang Fence Planter Boxes on Your Fence
The reasons why you may want to install planter boxes on a fence vary from person to person and place to place.

To do any one of these things you need a planter box that is versatile and durable.
Whether you’re mounting to wood, metal, chain link, vinyl or masonry.
When it comes to DIY fence planter boxes, many are made from wood.
While wood is a great building product.
The problem with wood (for planter boxes) is that it can rot quickly as it’s exposed to moisture from the soil.
Plus, the cost of lumber has increased quite a bit.
Now, let’s talk about plastic.
But not just any plastic…
