Gardener/Carpenter? (1 Viewer)

[shmmeee]

So I've just torn down my old shed and want to replace it with a built in storage bench, like attached to the house wall with space to store stuff in.

I'd also like a few other bits done around the garden.

Is this the sort of thing a landscape gardener would do, or do you need to hire an actual carpenter? Anyone got any ideas what it'd cost or who to ask about this? Any recommendations?

I think a lot of landscapers can do woodwork.

Any pictures of the sort of thing you mean?

 

[shmmeee]

That sort of thing, but not on a deck

A landscaper could do that I think, but I am not sure what landscaper rates are like compared to carpenter.

I think either would be fine, not fancy having a go yourself?

Yeah wouldn't be too hard.

Wife doesn't trust my skills.

Save some money, you could make that out of pallets easy

If it is shite, just burn them and pay somebody to come in!

Use youtube to see how to do it. I did with my decking and it turned out great.

I reckon I could do it. But the wife remembers when I said that about installing a bathroom (to my credit we only needed one leak fixing by a plumber and only one set of taps are in the wrong way round)

Honestly, get a few pallets. Then a box of screws and a saw.

Get a few beers and go out in the garden.


If it's rubbish you have lost the money for some screws.

The only bad bit is breaking the pallets up

just buy one of those plastic storage boxes, you will only need to screw it together...

Keter make them

There is that! You can probably get flat pack wooden ones

I've got the Eden, store the patio seat covers in it, and acts as a seat too

Reason was I had a wooden table, and had to treat the damned thing every spring. Nothing seemed to stop it "weathering". So, went plastic for the storage.

I'm not a carpenter, but I reckon I could build that.
