Herb planter shelves

Step 1
Mark the halfway point, 900mm, on each of the fence palings.

Step 2
Mark a 90-degree line using the back of the saw or a set square.

Step 4
Drill a 10mm drainage hole approximately 75mm from either end of each of the pieces of fence paling and smooth any rough sawn edges with sandpaper.

Step 5
Carefully stir the Resene Waterborne Woodsman with a paint stirrer.

Step 6
Apply one coat of Resene Waterborne Woodsman in Resene Uluru, to three of the fence palings. Allow 24 hours to dry and then apply a second coat.

Step 8
Apply two coats of Resene Triple Canterbury Clay to the concrete blocks, allowing two hours for each coat to dry.

Step 9
Place two of the 140mm plain end standard blocks in position and lay two of the fence palings across the block to create the first shelf. Place the other two 140mm blocks on top and lay the third piece of fence paling across these to create the second shelf. Place the two 190mm half blocks at either end of the second shelf.

Step 10
Seal the terracotta pots inside and out with Resene Terracotta Sealer and allow to dry.

Step 12
Fill the end blocks with good quality potting mix and plant each one of these with a herb as well.
