Rather than marking each board, I simply marked one and drilled small pilot holes through the entire stack of boards. The key to this project is making sure the holes are aligned. I purchased 6' boards and cut them in half. If you lay out the boards in advance, you can have the boards cut for you at Home Depot. Once you have established the hole locations, you can trim the boards to the desired length with a circular saw. Make sure you leave about 2" between the flower pot holes and about 1" between the rope holes and edges of the board. Use a pencil to mark the hole locations on a board. A single arbor can work with a variety of different sized saws. There is an outer saw piece that attaches to an inner arbor piece. Hole saws are used with drills to cut large circular holes.
The thinner ties are much easier to work with. I tried both large 10" ties and thinner 4" ties.

Zip ties – also called cable ties or tie wraps – come in a variety of different sizes. I think a thicker rope would add a nice aesthetic to the garden.
I used 1/4" diameter rope that was intended to be used as a clothesline. I reccommend boards that are at least 2 inches wider than that the diameter of the pots. The key is matching the pot with a hole saw that is has a diameter about half an inch smaller than the pot. I tried a variety of different sizes and found that clay flowerpots between 4 and 5 inches in diameter work best. This DIY vertical garden is an easy-to-make project that can turn a window into a beautiful and productive herb garden.
