The project

I was gifted some old hardwood timber and I needed some trellis, so I consulted the brains trust of the family, namely my 83-year-old dad. He and I built these trellis garden pot holders, three in total, and we're impressed with the result.

Steps

Step 1

Involve the brains trust. This is the planning process.

Step 2

Cut the timber to length. We also go Bunnings to cut the H3 Pine to length. Thank you Bunnings.

Step 3

Painting the timbers before assembling is an easier option.

Step 4

Drill countersink holes, then screw. 

Step 5

Finished.
