After the bench seat for the dining table (& another small table from the offcut in the making), I have started the plan for the next DIY outdoor.
This time it is a vertical garden above the small BBQ that i have in my backyard. Attached the design. It is going up on a brick wall. Few questions from the experts here - @MitchellMc @EricL @JacobZ @Dave-1 (Please tag other i might have missed)
1. Is 70mm TP strong enough for this good enough for this? Expecting a total weight of about 100Kgs when filled with water.
2. Are the anchoring with batten screws good or can i reduce by a bit?
3. Is the gap of 22mm between the merbau slats good size (Hope it will be good enough gap to slide the holders of the pots)
3. Any other consideations?
finally finished
lesson learnt
1. Give 10 mm extra on the frame so that it give room for slats that are bent occupy extra mm space
2. pre drill the exact mm noted for the screw to avoid broken and struck screw (forcing you to find another drill spot)
3. Have another person hold the slat against frame so that it does t come out when screw hits it so that you don’t have a gap.
That looks wonderful @jaiprak! Many thanks for posting the finished project and adding tips for other members.
Well done.

Mmmm Id go for everyday herbs/things you would use.
Cherry tomatoes,
Spring Onions, (I cheat and keep the bases of the stalks I buy at the store and transplant them and they keep growing if I am lucky)
Parsley,
Corriander,
Mix in some companion flowers to help draw in benifical bugs that eat the other bugs
Make a schedual up to ensure watering, even if its setting an alarm to remind you.
