Built to Fit Your Outdoor Space

Frequently Asked Questions About Deck Boxes & Planters
Can a deck box be built into a deck?
Yes. A deck box can be built into the layout of a deck so it feels like part of the structure instead of a separate storage container.
Can a deck box also be used as seating?
Yes. Many custom deck boxes can be built with a flat top so they can also work as extra seating when needed.
Are custom deck boxes better than plastic deck boxes?
A custom deck box can be built to match your deck, porch, fence, or outdoor structure. Plastic deck boxes can work for basic storage, but they often do not look as finished.

Yes. Home Deck and Fence Company builds custom deck boxes across Middle Tennessee, including Dickson, Fairview, Franklin, Brentwood, Nashville, Bellevue, White Bluff, Burns, Charlotte, and nearby areas.
What are deck planters used for?
Deck planters are used to add flowers, herbs, greenery, or small shrubs to a deck, porch, patio, or outdoor living space. They can help soften the look of wood, add color, and make the area feel more finished.
Can deck planters be built into a deck?
Yes. Deck planters can be built into the deck design, added along railings, placed near steps, or used to define seating areas. Built-in planters look more custom than loose pots.
What plants work best in deck planters?
Good plants for deck planters include flowers, herbs, ornamental grasses, small evergreens, and trailing plants. The best choice depends on how much sun your deck gets and how much maintenance you want.
Do deck planters need drainage?
Yes. Deck planters need proper drainage so water does not sit inside the box and damage the plants or the structure. Drainage should be planned before the planter is built.
Can deck planters add privacy?
Yes. Taller plants, grasses, shrubs, or climbing plants can add partial privacy around a deck or porch. Planters can also be paired with trellises or privacy screens.
Are custom deck planters better than store-bought planters?
Custom deck planters can be built to match your deck, porch, railing, fence, or outdoor structure. They also fit the space better than standard store-bought planters.
