I have several sections of fence at my fence line area. It would be easy enough to modify this plan and make a potter's or gardner's table instead of a bench. I will also look at using painted pvc pipe instead of the metal as you show with this project. In using it at my fence line as I am thinking of doing, I would have to make a base that prevents grass and weeds from growing beneath the bench. Maybe some flat cinder blocks there would work well. I'll stain or paint the bench so that it flows with the paint on my outside storage barn. I have a large patio area where a long bench done like this could come in handy for extra seating at the patio area. It would be much cheaper than buying the extra patio furniture. Thanks for the video and ideas it gives me.
The bench was easy to build but I'm wondering about the planters. You said you used sheet metal screws which is fine but, it looks like you may actually have used riviets? Also, I noticed that you placed your end caps on the inside of the hvac pipe. Was that just to create the correct size fr the opening? I'm thinking that I'll place the caps on the outside as the soil and water will create the weight and pressure that might otherwise push them out (with sheet metal screws or rivets). Thanks for the great video. It was a fun and easy project. Oh, BTW, we went to a couple of LOWES (which was a task in that the nearest one is nearly an hour away) and funny thing, they don't carry any cedar, except for fence boarding. They even told me that there's no way these instructions would've come from Lowes. I went with a different wood and it turned out great.
So, these ducts are sold as whole cylinders. How do you get them cut in half so you can plant in them? Do you undo the seams and open them a bit, then use the endcaps to re-round them? Do the cylinders come apart easily?
Unable to see directions and /or materials needed. Even called your 800# and the very nice, helpful gentleman I talked with was also unable to do so. He even went to his supervisor for help in this matter. Came back to tell me they were not able to help me. You need to fix your website for the planter. Shelby
