timber came in at .91p/m so this thing probably costs less then the pint it supports (had I bought said pint in a pub and not my local Lidl)
not much more to say, banged it together in a couple hours, it definitely took me longer to figure out how to set up the planer and sharpen it, then to build the table.

I was riding through harlesden, as one does. this tiny little bloke comes out of nowhere screaming for me to stop. I stopped before I realised that he was literally foaming at the mouth and he began to accuse me of stealing his friends bike, he demanded I get off the bike at once and give it back to him so he could return it to his friend - like the good and loyal citizen I'm sure he is. I declined and continued on, assuring him that if he wished to continue the conversation he would have to catch me. He began to charge , and I wished him luck. I rode on as I heard the echoes of "I'm gonna get you, you fat shit" . Well this fat shit has a bike mate, enjoy your jog.
they are made from roofing battens which cost about .70p per m so each one costs less then a fiver
​
managed to grow pak choi and spring onions which went great in stir fry's
​
they aren't really raised planters, but raised wooden frames that support plastic garden troughs,
​
i figured the constant moisture that a plant needs would weaken any wooden trough so I combined the best of both, wooden structure, plastic trough
​
something about the tall legs on the taller planters protects against slugs, the bastards got my pak choi on the lower planter but were repelled from the taller ones
​
the last planter without any trough was just a bit of fun and surely destined for the firepit

weighs about as much as a ford fiesta, though I could probably park a fiesta on top of this without breaking it
​
cost me about 30 quid in timber, it's hideously uncomfortable for some reason, though I haven't gotten around to getting a cushion for it yet
​
if I could go back I would probably have looked at some available sun loungers before building this or mocked up a shitty drawing or something, or just built a hammock stand instead, lesson learned
​
does come in handy as a bench, I clamped some long boards to the arms and it let me easily plane them so I could join them together
​
