2. Drainage: Make sure your planters have sufficient drainage to prevent water logging. Standing water can lead to rot, which can damage your planter and harm your plants. Consider drilling additional holes if necessary.

3. Protective Liner: Consider using a protective liner inside the planter to prevent direct contact between the soil and wood, which can lead to rot. You can use landscaping fabric, plastic or even a thick layer of newspaper.
