Re: Large plant stand
A diagonal brace on each side would be best

Re: Large plant stand
Hey Wal, If you are using CCA treated pine it loves to eat through galvanised fixings in about 12 months.
The big green shed has specially coated fixings, they are khaki in colour.
Diagonal cross braces from top to bottom corners should steady the ship!!
Cheers for now, Brendan...(broken down old chippie)

Re: Large plant stand
Looking good mate.
Are you going to put some on the sides too?
Give the frame a little shake from all angles to see if it wobbles.

Re: Large plant stand
