    i was thinking of buying a plant ladder like this one

    but they wanted £75 for one size i wanted:rolleyespink::rolleyespink:


    I thought that was a tad steep !!

    so after work this morning my OH was sleeping peacefully and i thought I know i will go make a plant ladder

    so with a couple of old pieces of decking and some batten and an hour and half later i had made this


    The first pic is from the web and the other two picture is what i have made
    ok so it is not identical but it didnt cost me anything :dbgrtmb:

            Are you using glue under those pots?

              Looks good Kaz :dbgrtmb: When you get it fully planted it will look great - pls post some pics.
              You made the ladder this morning ! That is at least a 6 month project job for a man . With 6 trips to B and Q , and 2 emergency purchases from ebay :D

                  The pic is sideways........ looks like the pots should fall off hence the glue........:heehee:
                  Took me a while to get it.
