The Perfect DIY Potting Bench – Strong, Elegant And Easy To Make! When it comes to creating a great space for potting your favorite flowers and plants, this attractive DIY potting bench is perfect for any gardener! For starters, this potting bench is strong, durable and extremely functional. In fact, it’s part potting bench, craft table, work bench and storage shelf – all rolled into one! But perhaps best of all, its simple 2x construction makes it inexpensive and extremely easy to build. Even for a novice woodworker! The potting bench uses simple 2x construction for both it’s frame, work surface and shelves. At 5? wide and 5? tall, it is plenty big enough to work on, without taking up too much space. Using just 2 x 4’s, 2 x 6’s and a single 2 x 8 x 8, it assembles together quick and easy. The front legs are formed by screwing together (2) 2 x 4’s , while the back legs use (2) 2 x 6’s. It gives the bench a sturdy, solid framework that is wobble-free. If desired, a set of casters can easily be added to the bottom to make it completely mobile. The potting bench even features a cool built in, removable tub. It is perfect for mixing up homemade potting soil. It’s also great for cleaning tools or a host of other chores. The built-in tub is easily created with a commonly available $10 to $15 kitchen sink or busser tub. It is held up by thick wooden dowels that remove the tub for easy cleaning.
