There are always hungry birds that can find our outdoor plants. But we can protect our plants with a mesh mounted on a single wood frame. The front of the frame can be opened, so we may take care of the plants easily in the future.

The first step is to measure the planter box and design the wood frame. Then cut out the elements of the frame, and assemble the sides and the top of it. After that we treat the surface of the wood with linseed oil. At the end we need to staple the wire mesh to the wood frame.
