You set up a wood shop in a storage unit....kinda ingenious

With the extra pieces, you can make an underbar for the top two layers, so that the buckets have something to rest on other than just the bucket lip.

yeah bucket lip crack because of sun after 2 years

Some cedar pickets or a cloth cover can help minimize Sun on the buckets. Good advice on supporting the underside of the buckets!

Very similar to something my husband made for me a couple years ago. The bucket lips do start to crack and break eventually, after sitting in the sun too long, so just be careful We had it on casters so I could move it around the back yard according to where the sun was.

Nice structure & equally nicely elaborated. One suggestion from watering point of view. You can put a 1cm thick strip on the backside of top & middle steps to make the buckets sit a bit tilted towards front side & make holes at the bottom on the front side only and run thin pipe thru each bucket on both the steps in such a way that a pipe from a top bucket would come in the bucket below at the middle & from that one to the one at the lowest bucket. so when you water the buckets at the top level, that water after moisting the soil would come to the middle one & from there to the lower one. This way you can save water & the efforts to water.

Impressive build. Also impressed with your use of storage units for a workshop. A low rent alternative to a small warehouse.

Not all places will allow it, not all places have enough power.

I’m looking at videos to make with casters so when severe weather rolls in, I just wheel my garden in the garage! This also conserves water. I tried 5 gallon bucket gardening last year, and was happiest with those containers. Thank you this one looks the neatest and cleanest. Other videos seem to use unnecessary extra wood.

I totally agree 😊

I built something similar today. I reduced the height significantly and used green treated deck boards for the front pieces to cover up the buckets a bit. Making it shorter makes it easier to work on as well as reducing cost from 12 2x4s to 9.

You could always use self watering buckets and connect them to a rain gutter. The overflow hole would keep them from overflowing and the reservoirs would stay full!

Looks good and appears it will work well too. One suggestion, there are shorties like my wife so I would decrease the distance between the levels so the bottom of the bucket is just being hidden by the lower level. You could get a reasonable height 4th level for those not altitude challenged to hit a wider audience too. You could also put it on wheels like a wheel barrow to ease moving it around.

Grabbed your cutlist for the bucket stand from your website. (Thanks a million for that) I'm a beginner woodworker (I mean seriously a rookie), but after watching you breeze thru it, I decided I could do it too. I modified it slightly by eliminating one row. The end results were not perfect, but perfectly OK for me. Thanks again for not overcomplicating the build.❤

Thank you for showing us the build. They'd really look great if you were to use that Japanese method of burning the surface of the wood, wire brushing it off, and then giving it a couple of coats of boiled linseed oil. I can see a couple of these outside my kitchen door to grow my culinary and medicinal herbs. Thanks again for sharing, will look for that cut list. May God always Bless you with good health and prosperity in all you do.

I am new to gardening with limited space { live in RV Park }. This is ideal for the space I have and will be able to Grow more than I thought. THANK YOU SIR.

Cool idea, can you build one where the buckets would be on a slant this would make a great storage solution in a garage for kids balls gloves base ball bats etc❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤easy access for kiddos to put there stuff away

Hi, I built one of these but I found that I had to tweak some of the number/measurements. I found that to make this work my cutting list was as follows. Out of 3- 10' 2x4's I cut 6- 53 1/2 and with the remainder I got 3-11 1/2. Then I took 4- 8' 2x4's and cut 4 -50 1/2. with the remainder I cut 2- 33 3/4 out of 2 of the left over boards and I cut 2- 16 3/4 (1 out of each). Then I was able to get 4- 11 1/2 out of what was left of those 2 boards. Then I took 2 more 8' 2x4 and cot a 49 1/2 out of each and with the left over boards iI got the rest of the 11 1/2 pieces. The reason I'm telling you this is because I found that his measurements were to tight for the 5 gallon pails I have. I check 3 different bucket vendors and they were all to tight and did not fit the opening. Otherwise these things are great! One more thing, I used treated lumber.

Wife and sister in law wants one of these. Definitely saves me from having to figure out the measurements! Thanks!

I have built two over thought, over engineered raised beds that would stand up to heavy shelling so I’m liking this. Great video, thanks. New subscriber.

I built mine thanks to your great instructions. It looks just like yours. 😊

Great video, I agree casters a must! You really did a awesome job in explaining.

Love it 💜 I've been wanting something like this. I'd finish it up with that plastic lattice to cover the bucket bottoms and maybe some rabbit wire along the bottom to hold garden supplies. Definitely on casters though lol. It'd be way to heavy without wheels💜💜 ETA: happy growing everyone 💜

Super excited to make this! Thank you for the free cutlist!❤

That’s like $3k worth of lumber these days!! Haha you’re videos are awesome Joe. I like the way you make everything so easy and clear cut (pun intended).

I get old pallets from work. FREE WOOD!

Looks good. It would be cool to mirror that on the opposite side and put a frame midway down on the highest tier to put a frame for seedling trays cause the top buckets would drain and automatically water them and shelter delicate seedlings from wind and direct sun. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thank you for your excellent instructions. I just made my very first wood project!

cool - but some thoughts/ideas/suggestions... (2 & 3 make it a more complicated build, but might improve it) 1. reorient the legs to go under and support the weight of those buckets. 4 five gallon buckets=20 gallons, water @ 8lbs a gallon. Asking those screw joints - with the 2x4 on the side, not underneath - to take 160 lbs (possible) over time in weather - a bit much. 2. others have commented on the plastic breaking down over time - agreed. That lip alone holding the weight... yeah. I'd see about creating a support system. 3. A GREAT idea to improve this would be to combine it with the "self-watering bucket" system. A bucket in a bucket with a water & air gap for nutrients, reserves etc (researching them is pretty easy on youtube). BUT water overflow underneath catching run-off could be a concern (or opportunity to save water). I could see a system of bucket supports underneath ADDING a "gutter" catching run off water...

Thanks for the awesome vid! I love this idea. I might try to build this, but at gutters to the sides and back for marigolds, herbs and strawberries.

Looks great. Thanks for sharing the cut list.

This was a very good video, I loved it. You explained everything in great detail. Thanks. 😊 I’ve got my dementions in hand to get started on my bucket stand.

First, I really enjoyed this VLOG and several others I recently viewed. I wish I came upon the video of building the Cornhole boards sooner. I prefer your method. Much easier. I did make the hole jig for the inevitable requests from friends and family. This raised bucket garden is just what I was looking for to grow the few vegetables I want. Right now I have planters all over my pool and deck area to thwart the invasion of gophers and deer. Either this will be the perfect solution for one stop gardening or provide the perfect deer dining table for the all night buffet. Thank you!

It looks great & it’s a good idea! If the back 2 vertical boards were taller, it would have been a good place for a trellis (if needed).

needs a diagonal cross bar across the back.

Nice lease expensive way for having more space to growing, Thank you for showing us how.God bless. Wsnda In Ok.

I use buckets and grow bags. I don't frame them or use anything like your build because it reduces the mobility of the containers. It's so much easier to move your plants if there is a major storm coming or you're facing a heat wave and need more shade for you plants. It is a cool build though.

nice. I wonder if you need to double the buckets, in a place like Texas, where you might want the dirt a little insulated from the mid-day heat.

I love it. I would definitely want casters on this to make it easier to wheel around if necessary. Plus what’s the weight limit for this because that would also come in handy based on what someone plans to grow in the buckets. I would like a couple of foldout tables along both sides because that would also come in handy.

thanks
