Pick up some barnwood and create An Easy DIY Wooden Planter Box with these simple, step-by-step instructions. One of our favorite characteristics of barnwood inspired projects is the quality of materials used. The materials that we source have withstood the test of time, bearing the marks and mars of usage which add to their character and speak to their quality, durability, and personality. Starting with reclaimed materials and creating something unique and awe-inspiring is what we’re all about!

Use a reclaimed door to create an accent piece to hang or attach plants to. Adding a reclaimed door to your outdoor gardening area gives you an additional blank canvas to work with and expands the room for planting activities!

At Against the Grain we are committed to locally sourcing our materials, whether that be barn-wood from one of the many Wisconsin barns we tear down, or salvaged furniture that can be re-purposed into something new. We are dedicated to serving our community and reducing our carbon footprint by sourcing materials locally and eliminating the effects that transportation produces.
