Planter for tree fern

Hey guys about 3 years ago I made a 100cm h X 70cm X 70cm wooden planter from 1cm thick T and G and some treated 2in X 4in that was another structure in the garden. The treated old wood is fine the t and g is not. I wasn't expecting it to rot this quick, I think it has a year or 2 life at most.
Any ideas what to make planter from that will give it longer life? I don't want to plant it in the ground as I hope to move one day and would love to take it with me.
I think I may have gone overboard with the size what size would be ideal for a 4ft tall fern?
One last thing when I put the germ in I used compost, soil and bark mix was that right? Also the surface layer of bark I put on at 5cm or so think has rotted quicker than I thought. Is that good or bad?
