Knock out the bottom of the planter and remove any nails. Cut two pieces of plywood to the inside dimensions of the planter. Cut 1 inch off the top of the rear support so that it can be tipped into place, as shown in Step 7. On the front support, mark the center of the first bottle hole by drawing lines from corner to corner to form an X.
