This clever little laundry basket table folds away against the fence when not in use.

The project

 

I got some old fence palings I had under the house and screwed them together to make a tabletop hinged to the fence at one end and hinged to two legs long enough to touch the ground at the other. A bit of blue strap and – voila! – it's a table.

 

I then used two scraps of cutoff and I don’t know the technical name for it, but I now have a block I simply twist to hold the table to the fence when it's not needed or to make way for the mower.

The pallet for the succulent garden to the right was free from my local Bunnings, with minor changes made to fit the space at the end of the garden shed.
