Nice!

What does the corner bead do?

Nice!

What does the corner bead do?

Holds the soil in for each box. The boards are flush with the front at a 60 degree angle so there is a gap to the back for drainage. It looks better and is neater than stapling weed block inside. The bead has holes for drainage as well.

That’s awesome. Might have to copy that. Wife wants a herb garden

 

[testdepth]

Each side is 50" tall.
Each planter box board is 32"
Each planter box board is set at 60 degrees and that allows for about a half inch gap at the bottom for drainage.
The corner bead holds in the dirt while allowing for drainage.
Back boards are just individually placed, marked, cut, glued and screwed.
The bottom is made to close up the the front for neatness.

Any photos of them with PLANTS in them?

Not yet. My wife saw a planter like this and asked if I could make it because they want nearly $400 for it. Challenge accepted.
