LarryS Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Built Garden (or flowers) Plant Stands. A simple quick project. A space saver. The flower pots we got at Menards to fit over a 2x6. Got enough wood to build 3 more. Just have to get them painted then. Looks like I'll be busy for a little while. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 That's cool, keep it simple yah? They have to be kept out of the weather, or is it pressure treated I can't tell? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryS Posted May 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 Thank you KnarlyCarl These are out of construction grade 2 x 6's. Treated lumber would be better if you wan't to put them out on the ground. I need to get a good paint for these. Any suggestions from anyone on prepping and painting these so they will last longer and won't peal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonylandin Posted May 20, 2016 Report Share Posted May 20, 2016 That is a very nice looking project can't wait to see finished. Paint stain water seal any thing would look good just depends on your taste and if you want to match surroundings. If that's where your gonna keep it a white to match rails would go good.

I have non treated fence boards treated with this since 7 years and they still look like day one...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
