Our planter has a 60 in. diameter with 30 in. sides. The height of our planter is 24 in.
If you would like to make a different sized hexagon planter, the radius is equal to the length of the six planter sides. Example: a 48 in. diameter planter would have 24 in. sides. Adjust accordingly to fit your needs.
