Tidying up

Post by eliass »

Friday night I decided I should tidy up the back yard instead of having poly boxes and pots everywhere so I built this to store my potensi...

Thought I would share.

Very basic a couple of painted Bessa blocks and stained timber sleepers.

That does look great, and its tidy. However I am concerned that you have now set a standard that the rest of us cannot compete with ha ha ha.

Very nice :yes:
I find it is much nicer to have an ordered and tidy benches even for growing stock. Makes them more accessible and easier to see and appreciate :-)

Thanks guys my issue had less to do with the mrs complaining and more to do with a dog having developed a taste for black pines and cocking his leg up towards everything else. Hahaha

Thanks again for the kind words it was about 35 degrees when I did it so I'm glad it turned out ok

Nice looking stock you have there, I have to ask though, where/how did you come across your root over rock trident in the top right of the first pic?
