木匠内森·吉尔伯特（Nathan Gilbert）和景观承包商詹恩·纳瓦达（Jenn Nawada）帮助房主解决路边上诉升级。HomeHome内森（Nathan）提供了添加一些由低维护PVC制成的定制窗户种植机的解决方案。建造它们后，内森将盒子直接安装到家中，以获取无忧的风格。HomeHome
如何构建窗户花箱
- 通过测量窗口窗帘从侧面到另一侧，并将测量值转移到1×10来确定每个盒子的长度。盒子的宽度应与其深度相匹配，因此请测量其确切尺寸（通常为9½英寸）的1×10。
- 使用MITER SAW，使用上一步中的测量值将1×10板切成长度。每个盒子需要一个前，后部和两个侧面，每个盒子都以45度的弯道切割。
- 应用程序ly a bit of two-part PVC glue to the mitered faces of each corner and assemble the box. Use the brad nailer to hold the joints together while the PVC glue sets up.
- With the corners brad nails, predrill the face of the box at each mitered joint. Drive a 2 1/2-inch trimhead screw through each hole to strengthen the structure of the box.
专家提示：确保钻在装饰的位置，将孔隐藏在最佳外观中。 - 测量盒子的内部宽度和长度，并在桌子锯上切一块1×10。胶水，指甲，预钻，然后将底部拧到盒子上。
- 把基地帽和乐队在斜切锯成型, making sure to cut 45-degree miters at each corner. Use the brad nailer to install the band across the top of the box and the base molding across the bottom. Top the box off with 1 ¾-inch wide boards cut on the table saw, mitered at each corner.
- 使用½英寸的铲钻，每6至8英寸钻一次哭泣孔以进行排水。
- Mark the stud locations on the siding under the window. There will be studs underneath each corner of the window, as well as in the middle (check the siding for nail heads). Transfer these marks to the new window box and pre-drill holes using a ¼-inch drill bit.
- Hold the box in place and use a pencil to mark the hole locations on the siding. Remove the box and pre-drill the holes before squeezing a dab of caulk into each hole.
- Hold the flower box back up and use the right-angle attachment to drive 4-inch structural screws from inside the box into the wall framing.
- 将景观织物放在播种机中，将其填充一英寸的熔岩石，一张盆栽土壤以及一年生和多年生植物的混合物。

内森用过stock 1″x10″阿齐克并库存Azek带成型andbase cap molding构建三个相同的窗口框。为了将材料切成大小，内森使用了滑动复合斜锯由德瓦特。To secure the front, back, bottom, and side pieces together, Nathan used 2 partPVC胶，1¼英寸的布拉德和2½英寸的不锈钢饰板螺钉，这些螺钉都可以在家庭中心找到。HomeHome他用2份PVC胶和1英寸的Brads固定了成型。为了允许排水，内森在窗户盒的底部创建了排水孔。他使用了½英寸黑桃钻头沿着Azek底部的中心线每8英寸钻一次孔。
内森将每个窗户直接安装到房屋的壁板上。他预先钻出飞行员孔，在每个孔中添加填缝，然后使用4英寸的结构螺钉将盒子通过预钻孔的孔将盒子固定在隔板上。
詹恩（Jenn）用一层景观织物在窗外盒子上排成一列，可以在花园和家庭中心找到。HomeHome在景观面料上，她添加了少量火山熔岩岩to cover the drainage holes. Jenn used a combination of annuals and perennials to fill the window boxes, which get morning sun and afternoon shade. Plants and flowers used include Northern Maidenhair Ferns, Pearly White, Glacier Ivy, begonia, bush violet, and vinca, which she planted in福克斯农场海洋森林盆栽土壤由制成福克斯农场。
In addition to regular watering, Jenn suggests using a slow-release fertilizer likeOsmocote-由制成Scotts Company LLC。每三个月一次，以帮助保持窗户盒健康。
