And today's efforts for the same cause (keep brother happy). A huge materials rack.

Start with this...end up with that:

I made a wooden jig to help keep everything the same.

String lines to get alignment squared away.

And in place in a 40ft shipping container.

He'll paint it next week, along with the van rack.

Solved one of the first world problems we have with our outdoor furniture lately.

After browsing mitre 10/Bunnings and not finding any decent quality options that aren’t $500+ made me decide to build one instead.

Built a frame then stained some ply and slapped it on the outside.

Came up pretty sweet. Now my cushions stay dry when I want to use them

Edit: how do you embed/upload multiple pics? I’ve been struggling along only adding 2 pics to each of my posts to fit under the size limit but surely there’s a better way!??

thanks in advance!

I only use mobile phone for everything.  I create a text message to myself, then hold down and save those images. From there they're already resized...and you can upload multiple photos from the folder they end up in.

Those are cool how do you buy one/how much are they? 

These projects always take way longer than expected. If it wasn’t a good winter project to chip away at I should have just paid the money and bought one in hindsight...

 

thabks kimjon I’ll give it a go!

at this stage contact the Trellis Outdoor Centre in Tauranga, they are the first Heat pump boxes I've seen with my Panels

(or any local handy man / Trellis manufacturer should be able to "knock one up")

"someone" might make a killing in a Large City buying & up-selling my Panels eh (I'm still under 5x Auckland area Stores)

only the Ply Fern portion is my creation / responsibilty, I've been trying to sell (or make contact) to shops all over NZ and it still a slow process, even with a nation wide rep for the past 12months

Mitre 10 Mega Hamilton sent back their order (didn't want to create an account for a "Small order") vs Dunedin that ordered 2x Pallets of Panels in Feb

(sorry didnt come here to derail or interupt the thread with my issues hah)

Another!
