Popular Post croessler Posted June 4, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 This is a Cedar potting bench with a slate tile top that I completed for my wife early this spring. The substrate for the tops is CDX plywood and the slate was applied with construction adhesive. I then “grouted” the seams with clear exterior grade silicone and sealed the slate. The bin is for extra potting soil…. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

croessler Posted June 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Just Bob.... Yes, I did seal the slate with a water based sealant that you flood on. K Cooper... The frame around the slate? That was cedar as well. The project sits outside against the building but does get exposure to the weather. It is sitting with a patio brick under each leg to keep it out of standing water when it rains and minimize ground contact. The hardest part of the project was cutting out the area for the tub.

gee-dub Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Good looking gardening bench and a very nice gift. It is amazing to us non-gardening / landscaping types how much something like this is appreciated. My now mother-in-law has been using hers going on 15 years and still thanks me for it several times a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chestnut Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 This is awesome my mom and grandma would love something like this. Though theirs would need to be about 3 times the size, way too many plants for those 2. Dang it I'm conflicted now i really want to show this to my mom and grandma but i know the first thing they'll ask "can you make me one?"
