Obelisks and Planter Box

by Michelle W
The first obelisk was a bit too wide for the planter box so it will go straight into the vegetable garden, maybe for beans. So I made a smaller obelisk this afternoon, using treated timber, just had to rip it down for the legs and rails, it's a wee bit wonky, but it won't be seen once it's covered in plants.
I used some wooden knobs for the corners, just to finish it off.
Now I just need to wait for the weather to warm up a bit and then I can plant it up.
The planter box finished.
Obelisk #2 to fit the planter box
I am not painting the inside, as there will be a plastic pot. The bottom got a quick coat of paint to help preserve the timber.

    I am loving these, and that deep charcoal color.

      @Douglas Hunt Thanks, I used the paint in the house on the back wall of the shelves, otherwise it would just go to waste. They should look really good with some bright flowers.
