The project:
I needed some cover outside on wet days. Couldnt permanently fix anything so had to come up with another idea. Barrels are filled with cement and topped with soil and flowers
Can completely unscrew and move to new location as needed.
- Materials:
Treated posts
Treated rails
Garden whiskey barrels
Cement
Potting mix
Flowers
Hanging flowers
Laser light sheets
Fairy lights
- Tools:
Drop Saw
Circular Saw
Drill
Bugle scews
- Step 1:
Cemented posts into whiskey barrels, ensuring they were level on all 4 sides. Left for 48 hrs to ensure the Cemented had set.
- Step 2:
Attached the outer railings using bugle screws, then attached another through the center width ways. From that center piece we put another rail in on both sides. Once the cross section was done we attached two more smaller rails from the middle side pieces on both sides.
- Step 3:
Once the roof structure was finished we put up the laser light using roofing screws. Over lapping two curves.
- Step 4:
Filled up.the wine barrels with soil and planted flowers. Drilled a couple holes for drainage of water. Also set up.water feature and put some shrubs around it and hung a couple of plants.
- Step 5:
Then We cut 80 cm pieces of wood on a 45 degree angle to do bracing on each corner of the framing for extra support.
- Step 6:
Lastly I added some fairy lights.
