Bench potting
Bench pot that you will read about is not fancy, but very functional. It is also very easy to build and use. Except it does not have legs! Do not panic, have a pot bench without legs actually benefit, I will get it a little later. This is for outdoor planters and outddor planter for your garden is effective. For indoor planters you might try this and take more concern abut the design. indoor planter has nice design, and sometimes we just have to find the right design only.
Pot bench described in this article actually identical to the bench that we have used pot for many years, a nursery in our backyard, and it has served us well, up to tens of thousands of pot plants. I like it because it is large enough to pot in about ten small plants at a time, and holding large amounts of land.
Tools: A screwdriver, a small box key or crescent wrench, or if you have a 1 / 4 “drive socket set that’s even better. A tape measure, a small square, exercise, and the power saw.
Materials: One full sheet (4 ‘by 8′) 3 / 4 “treated plywood. Make sure it is treated so it will last long. Plywood is not treated very well not stand outside the house.
15 dohickeys (you know, those little metal angle brackets, or corner brackets used to connect two boards together at right angles. Kurung these metals are bent at an angle of 90 degrees and have two holes drilled in it.
30 bolts with nuts 1 – Вј “long, and the correct size to fit the angle brackets that you buy.
60 flat washers that fit with the bolts
Before you begin, draw it on paper so you’ll know exactly what each piece of wood that were supposed to look like before making cuts. In this way you will not make mistakes that will ruin your piece of plywood.
Lay the plywood on a flat surface, like your garage floor. From one end measure in 16 “and draw a line on the plywood sheet By looking at you,. Cut along this line. Snippet that you cut is 16″ 48 “.
Now draw a diagonal line on a small section of plywood. (What you just removed from the sheet) Crop. Along this line. You now should have two triangular pieces that measure 48 “on one side and 16″ on one side.
These pieces should be in the form of a right triangle. Now you will remove a small part of the pointy tip of the triangular pieces. To do this, measure 24 “from the right corner, along the side of 48″ and made the sign. Using a small square draw a line from this mark at the pointed end of plywood. This line should be at right angles to the side of 48 “board. This line should only be about 4″ long. Cut along this line, pulled out a small portion of the spire. Discard the small piece you cut. Pieces you have left should be 16 “on one end, 24 ‘on one side, and about 4″ where you made the cut to remove the pointed end.
Two smaller boards you have left should be identical. This is a side pot for your bench.
Now back to the larger piece of wood. This work must now measure 80 “by 48″. From the size of the long side for more than 16 “and draw a line from one end to Cut along this line .. you have to remove the piece 16″ 80 “, leaving a piece 32″ to 80 “.
Both sections will become the bottom and the back of your bench pots. Take the back and stood on the edge, on a piece that will become the bottom of the bench to get a description of how the bench will fit your pots together. Make five signs where you will increase the angle brackets will hold the two pieces. Just space the five brackets along the two boards, make sure not to put anything too close to the end so they do not interfere when you install two pieces of late. Just keep the brackets about 1 – ВЅ “from each end.
