Re: over fence pot plant holder recycled fence posts

Hi @Annie22,

 

Thank you for sharing your plant hanging project and welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.

 

I love an upcycling project and the already drilled farm fence posts make for a simple yet effective way to create a hanging shelf to place your plants on.

 

Do you know what the plants are? They look like Purple Aeoniums. Is that correct? They are fantastic plants that look brilliant in those quirky little pots.

 

Thank you for sharing your, simple but extremely effective upcycling project. It is wonderful.

 

Jacob
