Re: Wooden wheelbarrow planters

Hi @Jamespeter100,

 

Those look fantastic. I especially like the one made out of natural branches. Many thanks for including some details on how you constructed these amazing wheelbarrows. I trust any of our members who wanted to re-create them will appreciate you taking the time to do so.

 

Well done.

A group of bromeliads which are epiphytes. They love it in a wooden barrow.

Re: Wooden wheelbarrow planters

Hi,

Im wanting to make some wooden wheelbarrow planters as the ones I have are rotting. Does anyone have plans and a list of materials that I would need to do this?

Thank you Chele

Re: Wooden wheelbarrow planters

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Chele1. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about locating plans.

 

I'd suggest the best place to find plans would be by searching Google for wooden wheelbarrow planter plans. You'll find quite a few to choose from. However, let me mention @Jamespeter100 to see if he is able to provide some for the wheelbarrows he creates.

 

I think you'll find that a lot of these planters are made from scraps of timber and are pieced together with what is on hand. This adds to their rustic charm.

 

Let me know if you find a suitable set of plans and we'll wait to see if the guru @Jamerspeter100 replies. If not, I'll attempt to create some plans for you.

 It’s a great feeling I can share this design with others. I think I uploaded this drawing I did years ago. Within the last few years. I drew it so long ago it’s in  inches. I’ll see if I can redraw it in metric. The wheel in this version is cut from a panel of wood. However. Since these days I make them correctly with the spokes. Sing out for more note re construction if need be.  

Re: Wooden wheelbarrow planters

Many thanks for uploading that diagram @Jamespeter100! I'm sure @Chele1 will appreciate the detail included.
