You can also get a bit of string or wire between small gap between the planks to tie any pots to the bench if you feel they might blow over . Looks great

No Adam, you are not a carpenter ... but you envisioned it, planned it, organized materials, experimented with tools ... AND BUILT IT! Excellent! Such a massive improvement over cluttered stuff on the floor. You can even put more storage shelving underneath. a tarp or old mini blinds along the front the block of the visual of clutter even more. That'll make the landlord happy too!

I love what you did here! At 61 years old, I really appreciate not having to bend over to water and tend to plants. It's a fabulous design. Could you do a video, a tour of all your plants? I am sure we would all love to see them and it would be a great way for you to keep track of the growth of your trees if you did the tours like once a year or so.

I love that Haws watering can. After seeing how much Nigel S. liked his I wanted to give it a try. Two years ago every place online was sold out and it seemed that the particular model had been discontinued. Luckily after a few months of searching I found a place in Canada that was selling them but I had to pay extra for International shipping (Living in U.S.) but after getting the watering can I realized it really is as nice as Nigel says it is and was worth it. Glad to see Haws is still making them as I have seen a few new places online selling them again and buying a backup can is tempting, or 2.

Hi Adam, saw this video when it got out, but now I want to make a bench. So your video inspired me. Do you have anything in mind, you would have done differently after almost 8 months of using it ? Still happy with it or already have made any improvements ? I ordered cinder blocks and similar wooden planks and planning on making it into a bench in a couple of days. Thank you for the inspiration and advice 🙏🍀

Currently I have a budget friendly bench of pressure treated 2x6 boards stretched across 2 saw horses, and a low raised step bench made of 4 blocks standing up and 2 laying down with an oak wood pallet I cut in half (half on top step and half on the lower step). Very low to the ground but keeps the plants off the ground and a little easier to take care of. Also fits perfectly in a small area next to my shed door.

I would treat the cut ends of your decking boards with end grain seal, other wise rot will get into the exposed untreated centre of the boards. Various companies manufacture it. Made my staging with the same materials 18 years ago. I give it a coating of decking stain each year. This year I stripped the build up back to the original surface and retreated it.
