Hi all as some of you may know by now i like my evening fires when it gets chilly.When my grandchildren was over last weekend and with our dog bonnie getting into everything i thought it was a bit dangerous for them all having the wood about as it was unstable .Hence i built this today to store it all in and to keep everyone safe.
And it looks a sight better :))))Bonnie helping me get the wood out of the car NOT lol:)))
Chosen spot
Here Goes
Stained sides just needs the lid
All done.What a good job i have done for you dad lol:)))
Phew all tired out now after a hard days work (and playing ) lol:))))))

Absolutely perfect! Mark, you must be tied to the tree, otherwise you cannot rest, lol.
Beautiful thing, I would use it as a storage box as well as a bench. I love those handles.
Great work, Mark.

great piece of work!
going slightly off-topic, how do you hold the troughs on the fence above the box? hooks, or are their supports underneath the bases?

Hi Fran all i did with the planters on the fence was i screwed them directly to the fence panels then i put a piece of 2 x 1 wood behind the bottom part of the back to keep the planter straight:)))
Hi Helen lol my never ending supply of wood comes from a company who builds floors for houses.These are the off cuts from the floors and packaging which they save for me :)))

shee, Mark, you're like Sherlock Holmes - he always said that people were amazed at how simple his solutions were - *after* he'd explained them!
it does give a very neat apprearance,though I imagine it'd be a tad difficult to change their locations in future.
