My wife found this (somewhere online) I built it.

Sorry for the lack of photos. I usually start and don't stop working.

I've searched high and low for decent directions on building this "fad" "viral" 5 gallon bucket garden bed.

Meant to hold invasive plants in their pots. Tiered for smaller foot print than traditional in ground gardens. Safe from most critters and weeds.

I have built so many things in the last 7 years this was a unique challenge. Trying to tighten the hold of the square bucket slots to grip the "coneal" shape of the bucket. Attempting to grip more of the bucket. Then resting the lip on the wood.

It's 56" tall 57" wide and 51" depth.

I cut the 4x4 to my height lengths

I built the rectangle bucket holders first.

I moved all wood to the assembly site and built it.

I used pressure treated wood for budget friendly build.

The buckets photoed are full of water to test strength and ONLY for the photo op.

Will be replace with food-safe buckets upon planting.

Fun project, absolutely willing to answer questions for anyone interested.

Instead of dropping $1000 at cracker barrel I'll build it myself!

Wanted some outdoor furniture in my backyard. So I built them!

Wife has been begging for me to build

It's a tad tall but I have taller vegetable plants for the second and 1st rows
