Just got done building this, it was super easy and looks great, can’t wait to put my tomatoes in it! I used 11 2x4 to build it, The only dimension I didn’t see on the video was where to put the lower cross pieces and the stringers to support the buckets, I put my lower cross pieces 17” down from the top and with the stringer on it the bucket seems to sit at a good height. Thanks for the video I’m sure we’ll be enjoying this bucket garden for years to come!

Excellent! Glad you got yours built and glad you got something from the video. Thanks again for watching and sharing! 😁

Thank you so much for taking the time to make and film this. This is exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks!!

Great - thanks for watching! It was a simple and fun build, especially with the boys doing most of the work. The longer video is a bit entertaining.

Thanks for sharing. Built mine today. But I left the long stretchers 8ft and put 14 buckets. Less cutting and more growing. Thanks for sharing though.

So good of you to teach the boys something useful🥰

Thank you for this information and making it so clear and concise. I am getting ready to do my first bucket garden and this is exactly what I need!!! Many of the designs I see use the top stringers to support the bucket weight. I like the idea of supporting from the bottom better.

Thank you for watching and for your comments! Hope yours comes out like you want.

I believe 2 buckets by 4 buckets will be easier to manage. Then I'll grow potatoes & onions & carrots & tomatoes in each separate 8 bucket rack. So I'll make 4 of them using your design.

@@difalkner Quick question: If I use the entire length of the 8-foot 2x4, would this stand hold 7 buckets instead of 6 in a row?

Thank you so much for that! I'm way behind on posting new videos because of recent surgery (not able to be in the shop) but I'll be back soon.

Slap some cedar pickets on the outside to hide the plastic and that should work in any HOA hood.

Well done.

I love this design. I see you live in the same city as me. I was wondering if you build them to sell? I want two but don't have the time or tools to build them myself.

Sorry, I think I’m one and done on this. I’m concentrating on getting over prostate surgery and then back to building acoustic guitars. Thanks for watching and if some of my woodworking friends are interested in building these I’ll let you know.

Do you happen to know the inside or outside measurement from the top cross stretchers to the bottom cross stretcher on each end? Thanks a bunch for making this video, it’s very helpful.

So sorry for the delay; just noticed I stopped receiving notifications, apparently a long time ago. If you still need those measurements I can get them for you.

What was the measurement of the lower cross pieces

@difalkner

4 ай бұрын

I was going to measure them but watched the video again and about 23 seconds in it shows 27”, 26” if you want the buckets closer together. Does that help?

How far down are the bottom braces from the top of the boards?

Had to wait for the rain to stop... the space between the top 2x4 and bottom 2x4 is 12". Is that what you needed?
