I liked that one! I explained how to turn that design using 4ft x 8ft PT 3/4 inch plywood into 3 6ft x 16inch with 6wheels then remaining 2ft x 4ft section can make 8 12inch square ones. She has a large deck and wants to make a container garden on wheels for it.


I wouldn't make all 11 until I saw how she felt about the 2 or 3 that were made first. And maybe 1/2" plywood is enough. Don't forget that there will be times when one has to move them around without a plant on them, when one has to store them, maybe on edge.

Wondered what my wife bought that is in the garage. Turns out she said it a rolling plant stand. It is all metal.

She plans to move them with plants on top. Has ti be on wheels, She has tools but lacks time. Now she;s looking at some Amazon links I sent her.'

Nyssa liked some at the garden center but they were expensive. I don't know her age but fixed income likely.

Wife bought hers with no purpose in mind and it just sits in garage. We have a large gardenia that I move in and out of the house and takes a dolly. Rolling planter would probably not get over bumps out the sliding glass door to the deck.
