I made the trellis removable because they’re ass to install and I figured it’s the flimsiest part of the build.
I did two coats of tung oil with about 24hrs to dry between. I used like 300ml of oil on this thirsty mf because pallet wood is dryyyyy af so a third or fourth coat wouldn’t have made it. The planter box and shelf are also coated in two layers of polyurethane shed sealant, though thinking about it now I might have just sealed out the air that the oil needs to cure
The feet are a little brittle because it’s end grain against the ground, but they’re reinforced with glue and a frickload of timber screws that came in a hyper masculine packaging… which means it’s invincible, right?
Nice! Been thinking about doing something like this myself.
I went a little overboard with engineering it for sake of wanting to design it all by hand, but for my first big project it’s been awesome for learning!
Here’s some progress pics of how I built it; might be useful if you’re looking for ideas :)
Huge caveat that I have no idea if this will hold the ~80kg of soil it’ll have eventually…
Very nice.
Lol, fingers crossed!
