- Begin by lining the window boxes to protect the wood from the water and soil.
- Using Rust-Oleum® Stops Rust® Protective Enamel Paint, coat your wooden window box. Use paint that's weather and rust proof.
- After the first coat dries, be sure to add two more coats to give your window boxes a beautiful and durable finish.
- Using rich potting soil, fill your window box 3/4 of the way and plant one or two hardy plants.
- Add year-round color by mixing in silk plants and flowers, that will not need watering.
- Hang your window boxes with someone's help, for safety reasons, and be sure to be extra cautious with the fastening, as the window box could pose a serious threat if it were to suddenly come crashing down.
