Makes a good planter.
I was lucky with the timber, it was already quite dry when I brought it from Bunnings. Just left it a few more days . My wife likes the planting part.
Looks awesome! Did you line it so timber won't rot?
Hi @annieerbs,
Let me mention @Former Workshop member, so they are alerted to your question about whether the timber was lined. The palings are already H3 treated for exterior use, but I'd also be interested in knowing whether it is lined and, if not, has there been any signs of decay.

Hi, the timber was H3 treated, we did line the inside with the potting mix bag used to fill the wheelbarrow . Also drilled drainage holes in the bottom of the bag and wheelbarrow.
Your wife is very good at the planting part! I see you even made the wheel. An excellent team result.
Hi are the plans still available
Regards
Hi @Gavin,
This is a project shared by a former Workshop member and they never shared plans with us.
Let me tag the ever-helpful @EricL as well as @Jamespeter100 who might be able to assist you with building your own decorative wheelbarrow for the garden.

I’ve uploaded the finished model in a prev post. I’ll have a look for it to paste in a link. This is based on pallet slats, which are much the same. The arms from the wheel to the handle are also from pallets, but suitable wood is at Bunnings as well.
Found the post. In inches, since I’m so old, I still have cobol coding forms. https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/Garden/Wooden-wheelbarrow-planters/m-p/76039#M7668
