DIY PORCH PLANTER-PACKAGE BOX
Put your yard on display. Not your packages.
Protect your packages and front lawn aesthetics with this multipurpose DIY package drop box. Our Porch Planter-Package Box keeps deliveries out of sight while delivering elevated charm and beauty to your front porch.
Featuring a smaller compartment and a larger cabinet, this project is ideal for all kinds of deliveries. Best of all, this build can be knocked out in a day, and your orders can be sitting pretty in no time. You can even customize the hardware to match your home.
Add the finishing touches in the two planting areas that allow you to add seasonal color for the ultimate curb appeal. This porch box for packages is the final touch to a five-star front yard. Start your build today.
