Here's a pic of raised planter stands hubby made for me (and of my container veggie garden). I love them!
I like the wheelbarrow!
Finished up the shelves/cabinets in the tv room. Here are a couple of pictures.
Very nice planter stands!
I'm not a gardener - what is the white planter covering and what looks like a black tube coming out of the top for?
Simplegirl, Nice Earth boxes. How's your deck holding up to all that weight?
Good question. It did occur to me! Each box, according to the website, weighs around 80# when full and watered. So, I only have 6. I should hope my deck would be rated to hold the weight of 6 children plus me and hubby! If not, yikes that's a problem!

Decks are often designed to hold a hot tub, which can weigh well over a thousand lbs, or a hundred lbs/sq ft. So unless your deck is substandard you shouldn't have a problem. I mean, seriously, a standard deck can easily hold 10 drunken college boys and a couple of kegs without collapsing. A few bell peppers and some basil should do OK.
A new deck, maybe but looking at the pictures of the wood deck flooring from last year and the hand rail from pictures this year (looks like the deck floor may have been replaced or new deck flooring laid over old flooring and adding additional weight to the support structure) that is an old deck. If this is similar to the deck in a previous picture of her friend/herself toasting with a drink it's also not a large deck. Just wanted to make sure that simple girl was aware.
Just get a fat guy to come over and jump up and down a few times.

Wasn't there a movie about that, Fat Guys Can't Jump?
