Wagon Planter re-build

Wagon Planter build

As you can see, this old wagon is trashed… BUT it can be fixed!!!Old damaged wagon

I cut out new pieces of wood
The old hardware was rusted on. These tools were no help!
I had to use an angle grinder with a cutting blade
All the hardware was cut off
Turns out water comes out of this hole… lol
I trace where the hardware went, as an estimate…
Then I add the hardware and mark it properly to drill.
Holes are drilled so the bolts will fit
Stain is applied to give the plywood a darker color.
Then the wood is weather sealed in varnish
Final assembly went smoothly.
I am marking how deep to drill the countersink holes.
These guide pieces were added to prevent sag in the center after years of outdoor weather
I left the hardware old and rusted looking. Its from the 90’s
I picked a spot where it will look good.
Then added a bunch of potted plants. (Later I added sprinklers to these)
