    Cut list: you need five 2x4x10” pretreated boards and two 2x4x8” pretreated boards. Take three of the 10ft boards and cut two 55” pieces out of each. Take one 10ft board and cut a 55” and 52” piece. The last 10ft board is cut into three 25.5” pieces and one 12” piece. The first 8ft board makes three 31” pieces. The last 8ft board makes a 31” piece and two 19” pieces. Follow the link in the description for a great visual on the assembly.

      Thank you for making this clear or clearer! When I made this video I thought I had hit the main points but enough people have asked that I feel I missed some key lengths. It’s been several years and a home move so I don’t have the data any longer.

    I like your idea of just 1 centered screw at first then set the contraption on the paved floor to level & square it before adding a second screw.
    2 screws are all that are needed at every connection finally not more.
    I'll make the racks so they hold 4 buckets across because our planting season here in the Rockies is in May so every weekend of May I'll plant another bucket of potatoes & onions & carrots & tomatoes.
    The corn I will also grow in a 5th un-racked bucket.
    Thanks for this video !!!

    Very cool project...I love growing my Potatoes & Sweet Potatoes in 5 gallon buckets...
    In the past, I would just put down some 2x4 for a base on the ground....
    I love that it is shelved in 2 levels, space saving...awesome. 😎👍🌟🌟🌟

      Thank you for the kind words! I liked the space saving aspect of this project too and am waiting for the rain in Ohio to stop or at least slow down to get ours planted. I went back later and added cedar all around to improve the looks of it based off my wife's request but that does not change the functionality.

      I was thinking of stapling some canvas around it...but now, looking around my yard..I got lots of leftover cedar fencing planks, kicking around...I will do the same, and brad nail them on...

    Clamps just below to hold up the other end would be preferred for next time. As I learned from other videos, clamps are your friend, they hold things when you work alone on projects.

      I would think so. The longer spans are supported so it should work. Let me know if you go that way and how it works. Thanks for watching!

    • @scottthornandhisbeesandtrees
      @scottthornandhisbeesandtrees  4 года назад +2

      Sorry about that- one of the eight footers make three 31 inch pieces and the other makes one 31 inch and two 19 inch pieces. Hope that makes sense.

      It looks like one of the cuts got missed. I got 55", 52", 31", 19", 12"

    • @michaelbrause1989
      @michaelbrause1989 Год назад +2

      Im guessing it's slightly longer than 31" pieces. No luck in Searching all the comments and the cut list at the end is very short that it got cut off.

    Any idea how I can steak tomatoes with this rack? I have 48” wire cages in each bucket, the plants are really growing and getting heavy.

    • @scottthornandhisbeesandtrees
      @scottthornandhisbeesandtrees  4 года назад +1

      I have square cages and stuck them into the buckets. They overhang the stand a little but are still functioning to hold the plants. Another option would be to use three wooden stakes into the buckets near the edge and run some old cloth line or old pantyhose between the stakes to hold the plants.
      Let me know if you try any of these and how they work.

    • @scottthornandhisbeesandtrees
      @scottthornandhisbeesandtrees  4 года назад +1

      I may have misread your question; you could try to secure the cages into the stand with screws or something similar.
