Here in Seattle it is so wet that anything wooden only has a couple of years to live, unless it is somewhere out of the rain
Best to you on this sempventure

Thanks Greg. The planter will sit on wooden "sleepers" so there will be no contact with soil, I use left over mahogany from my two-tier deck I built 15 years ago. Mahogany has similar weather-resistant quality as cedar, a wood of choice for outdoor use. Not sure what to expect about the "shelf life" of this wooden planter, but I'm hoping at least 10 years.
