Mark Rayner comes up with a simple, compact solution for sheltering plants.
You will need: Approximately 40m of 25mm x 50mm treated battening, three 1.8m lengths of fence paling, a piece of 22mm treated plywood, approx. 750mm x 250mm, clear PVC plastic sheeting, shade cloth, exterior PVA glue, 40mm galvanised nails, saw, hammer, set square, tape measure, paintbrush, 19mm galvanised staples and two galvanised hanging brackets. Resene Quick Dry waterborne primer undercoat, Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Highball.
Top tip: Use a set square when building the frame to ensure wood is fixed at the correct angle.
Step 1
Measure and cut four 2m lengths and four 1.8m lengths of battening. Fix at right-angles with PVA and nails to create four rigid corner posts.
Step 2
Fix four one metre lengths of battening at right angles to create each rigid 'top' and 'bottom' support. Fix to the corner 'posts', as shown, to create a side wall frame. Fix the remaining one metre length 900mm from the bottom edge. Repeat for the second wall.
