….Please ask me any questions you have about this project if you are stuck on anything. Another unique planter tutorial is my DIY Driftwood Planter. If you'd like to see my other outdoor projects, they are here at.
#CINDER BLOCK PAINTED FULL#
Washing the blocks ahead of time saves you a full 24 hours or more. Just make sure you use the same primer or a similar one that is for specially made for masonry.ĭue to the length of drying times needed after washing, priming, painting and gluing, this project will take a minimum of 3 days in perfect weather, so plan accordingly. Hadnt thought it was paint, as there is no peeling, but on 3nd look, I woudl say that it is. After looking again, it does look like the blocks ahve had grey paint put on them, years ago.
#CINDER BLOCK PAINTED PROFESSIONAL#
Remove any paint how ever you know how, or again use the service of a professional contractor, it’s up to you, as long as it gets the job done. Cinder block absorbs water and should be parge with a 1/2' of cement ( Portland/ sand mix with stay tight additive). Interior and exterior house paints usually ship within 1 to 3 days, while custom spray paint typically takes 3-5 days to ship.
Your blocks must be bare and clean to work with. While most orders ship within 48 hours, the lead-time for paint made to match Sherwin Williams SW1008 Cinder Block depends on the type of paint needed. However, I am not recommending that for this project since it’s very time consuming and as it turns out, the primer I used covered it really well. Remove paint to the bare brick This is the first and obvious step. Some people say you should wash cinder blocks with TSP, which I ended up doing. I think I’ve filled in the blanks lacking from other tutorials and have the kinks worked out for you, so let me know how it goes! If I have make another one, it will be much more enjoyable the second time around. The parts where I didn’t end up going backwards, were really fun. If I had to do it again, it would be much easier this time, after going through a few mistakes. I have a bunch of plants and not enough room on my deck for all of them, so I decided to make a set of vertical cinder block planters, or planter sculpture. I really needed a way to spruce up this bare spot in front of a fence in my yard. A cinder block planter sculpture! Paint and stack cinder blocks, add plants to make a fantastic vertical planter.
