Wall Planter Hanger! 2026

Wall Planter Hanger, this year we decided that we wanted to bring some of the herbs/plants to have the atmosphere fresh while we cook. If you haven't already, be sure to check out the video to follow these steps.

Step 1: Tools and materials

Materials:

• 1x6x8 wood (Cut to 32″)
• Rope
• T-zipper
• Poly-acrylic
• Tape
• Screw hooks
• 4″ pots
• Land for cultivation
• Favorite herbs or plants

Tools:

• Sierra
• Drill
• Level
• Orbital Sander
• Square

Step 2: Make the tables

This is a pretty simple project that you can probably do in a day. My herb garden consisted of three shelves with three pots on each. You can make your boards any length you want. I got two 1x6s at my local center and cut three 32″ long boards.

I measured from each corner and drilled holes for the rope to pass through. I wanted the rope to be tight once it went through the drilled holes, so I made sure it was that tight with a few test holes before drilling the actual boards. I would recommend doing this. I think the size of the string and bit was ¼”. I measured at 1″ from the side of the board and ½” from the end of the boards at each corner.

When I drilled the hole, I made sure to put another board underneath and hold them down so they wouldn't pull me out of the hole. This is a great trick especially when you are drilling larger holes.

Step 3: Cut the holes for the pots

The next thing I had to do was cut out the holes so the pots would fit. I used 4″ clay pots. I had to make sure the pots didn't fall through the hole I cut, so the first thing I did was measure my pot and determine the size of my hole. It was exactly 4″ in diameter. I marked where my holes needed to be and then drew a circle where I would cut each hole. To make a perfect circle without a compass, I tied a piece of string to a pencil and the other side to a wood screw 2″ away.

I then drilled the screw partially at the center mark of where I wanted the hole to be. Then, keeping my pencil straight, I turned the screw in a circle. This worked great to create a perfect circle. If I had to do this again I would buy a hole saw and use it, but I didn't have one for this project so I used a jigsaw. I drilled a large pilot hole inside the drawn circle to have a place to start with the saw, and then cut out each circle. Cut slowly and let the blade cut. I was very fast at the beginning and had to make some mistakes again. However, it works very well.

I sanded the inside of the holes until I removed most of the cut marks and then using the random orbit sander, I sanded the boards with 220 grit sandpaper. I put on 3 coats of polyurethane sanding lightly between each coat.

Step 4: Attach the rope to the boards

To start the rope, I added some painter's tape to the end of the rope so I could fish a little further through the hole without separating the rope. I started at each corner and put the rope in the corner of each board. I tied a knot at the bottom of the bottom board.

I added zip ties to the rope under each corner of the shelf so the shelf could rest and hold on the flange. This worked very well. You can make your shelves as far apart as possible. I decided to make mine 10″ away.

I left about 30″ of extra string at the top just to make sure I had enough to hang it. I then tied the two ropes on each side in a knot and this is what I would use to hang the shelf.

Step 5: Install the hanging garden

I'm sure every situation can be a little different when it comes to garden hanging. I decided to use 2.5″ hooks to hang mine. I measured the spot on the wall where I wanted the hooks to be, then drilled a small hole and tightened the hooks into place. You want to make sure you have a stud behind where you are adding the hooks. The garden can be quite heavy considering the weight of all the pots and dirt. I put my hooks in the crease where the ceiling meets the wall. There is a 2x4 running along the top of my wall that I made sure to hit behind the drywall.
After hanging, I had to go back to the zip ties and adjust some of them so they are level. I was able to move some of them, but others I had to add a new tie and cut the old one off. Just keep adjusting until everything is where you want it.

Step 6: Fill the pots with plants

We're almost done. Now is the time to choose your herbs or plants and add them to the pots.

We got some basic herbs from the local source center, and then tried starting some of the seeds. Once you fill the pots, you can add them to your garden frame and you're all done. Make sure the location you choose to hang your garden has enough sunlight that your plants need.

This herb garden would be a great addition to your space. Plus, there's nothing like fresh herbs when you're cooking.
