Ladder Planter
Ladder Planter
A couple of months ago I posted about a ladder that broke when hubby was climbing down from the roof.
I fixed up the top part of the ladder for my house type plants. You can see how I did that here.
Since it was a tall ladder, one of the sides was not broken so I saved it. I knew I would do something with it. I decided to make it into a planter for out front.
It started out like this. This was one side of the ladder that went to the bottom. The other side was broken and I could not use it.
First thing I did was clean it up and then put two coats of varnish on it. I am sure I will have to add more varnish as the summer weather is hard on things down here.
The big pot in the center was also in my stash. Not sure where it came from either. I had to put holes in all of the containers for drainage.
I am not sure where I got these pots. Maybe a garage sale but they were in my stash. I liked the lettering on them and I had four of them.
I planted wave petunias and they are doing nicely, starting to wave down the front.

What a great idea to use the ladder as a plant hanger. Plus, it didn't cost you a penny.
ReplyDeleteJudy,
DeleteI love this planter and the fact that it didn't cost anything is the icing on the cake. Love saving items.
Have a lovely weekend.
Hugs,
Bev

So cute Bev!!
ReplyDeleteThis worked out really well to enhance this tree area. I'm in a constant battle with my husband in throwing away things! Waiting are two huge porch posts (150 years old at least) which he is this close >< to burning. Fun to see your results. From YTHESTAR, Sandi
ReplyDeleteSandi,
DeleteHubby used to be that way, but he has gotten better as I continue to upcycle things. Now he even brings pieces of furniture home to me. I hope you convince your hubby tp keep those 150 year old posts. I bet they are beautiful.
Hugs,
Bev
