![]() ![]() If you have a chance, take a look at the fabulous inspiration from the other party participants: I filled each gutter section with soil then planted pretty pink Dianthus and orange Marigolds. I added a narrow strip of weed barrier to the bottom of each gutter to keep the soil in place. While it was hanging (empty), I adjusted the space between the gutter sections so that the planter fit in the space. I installed the plant hooks in holes that were already drilled in the top of the opening and added the S hooks to the top loops of the rope, then I hung the S hooks on the plant hooks. Once the rope had been threaded through all three gutter sections, I looped the rope and continued back down the gutter pieces in the opposite direction on the back of the gutters. I measured 10″ up from the hole in the front of the gutter section and tied a knot, then threaded the rope through the bottom of the next gutter section. I threaded the rope through one of the holes on the bottom of a gutter section and out of the adjoining hole in the front. ![]() and tied a knot in one end of each piece. I used a smaller drill bit to drill random holes in the bottom of each gutter section for drainage. I also drilled a hole on each end of the front and back of the gutter. I drilled four holes on the bottom of each planter located 3″ in from each side and 1/2″ from the edges. I added the side caps to each section, then spray painted the gutter pieces. I used a miter saw to cut the sections though a jigsaw or of course, a handsaw can be used as well. I cut the gutter into 22″ sections to fit between the posts on a narrow part of my porch.
