  • We have a plastic pool now but this would be just perfect. They could play in their pool and I could cool off in mine. heheh.

everything wonderful for our pets

Not sure who sells these but will let you know as soon as I find out or maybe someone here knows. Our Vet just posted it on FB I love the deck idea too. I wonder if I could make it out of pallets and old cedar?

    Thanks for sharing this inspiring renovation! I too have had many breakages and discovered ...»
    there are loads of ways to reuse broken pots. http://themicrogardener.com/diy-upcycled-bro...


    • I salvaged one pot that was half intact (from the front!) and sat a black pot of dwarf seaside daisy inside it with its back to the wall to disguise the damage. It trails down over the rough edges and hides the ugly inner pot.

    I didn't make this but saw it on Pinterest and thought it looked like a cool idea to pass on. ...»
    I would venture to guess that there was some sort of lamination to keep them all together along with a possible frame work of some sort to prevent them form falling but they do appear to be stacked in a way to overlap and create a sort of frame work within. Sorry I can't give you a more concrete answer,
