Potting Bench in my Porch

[paul_in_mn]

Just christened my new potting bench this past weekend. I've been collecting ideas for some time and spotted this one at HD store - prebuilt and sturdy. Measures 6' long and about 20" deep on work area and 35" tall. Assembly was fold legs down and rest the shelf in the leg notches.

It was unfinished, so I added a weatherproof semi-transparent stain and a couple coats of satin polyurethane to work surfaces. I was looking for a used single stainless steel sink to add, but came across this big stainless mixing bowl that was perfect for my purposes.

Last additions will be to add a curtain across the front that will hide the storage and a towel bar. Bench, bowl, stain and finishes were about $100.

Thanks for looking

Great idea, and looks much sturdier than the IKEA stuff I've been using.

Love it! I just use my wheel barrow, but this seems a lot nicer.

Thanks for the comments.

Wow, so organized and a neat idea. I don't use my potting table, prefer using a large wheel barrel to mix my soils, I have
lots to pot up!!

Update with curtain to hide shelves - my DW is very pleased.

Nice little bench you have there ... have you ever noticed how they are never quite big enough?
