This download is for gardeners who are planning to build a Pot Bench according to its Makers Guide. Here you will find design ideas to expand the single Bench into a family of growing furniture. Included with this download is a 10-sheet, color PDF outlining design ideas for:
1. Multiple (ganged) Pot Benches, with and without upper trellises.
2. LV lighting fixtures in post & beam raceways & side mounted.
3. Upgraded trellis fretwork using metal & stained glass.
4. Stained glass LED light covers for the keystone trellis position, and vertical post mounting.
5. Post top-mounted planter pots.
6. Bar-height work surface (kiosk) on Pot Bench ends
Note: this is a download of "preliminary design" documents, formatted for printing on ledger-sized paper (if you need to print them). These show at least six "extras" that might be added to (or worked into) the basic Pot Bench. There is no discreet Makers Guide for any of these "extras", although if you were interested in purchasing Construction Drawings or a Makers Guide specific to any of the Extras shown here, message us in the Etsy Shop. With the basic Pot Bench Makers Guide in hand, you will understand the making vocabulary for most Pot Bench Extras and find these preliminary drawings sufficient.
On Sheet X10 of this PDF set, a QR code will direct you to a YouTube video animation of the Pot Bench Extra features. The "Extras" video and the PDF set are taken from a SketchUp model that spawned the design. Files for the SketchUp 3D model (with and without Extras) are also available in the Etsy Shop.
