Planter for a beginner?

I'm planning to start planting flowers on my outdoor patio in the spring. I want to build the planter boxes myself, what kind of wood do I use? (inexpensive). Can I use plywood sheets? Do they have to be stained/painted to withstand the weather conditions better? Thanks!

You could use plywood but I would use cedar or treated wood ( like for decking material). You would need to paint/seal any wood so it will last.



Speak to the folks at the supplier.
Reply:Plywood is not a good idea. You should use plain pine and paint/stain them, then coat with a good outdoor sealer.
