Awesome diy🥰🫶🏻❣️ I would suggest “The planted pot , you may consider taking a milk jug or something considerable size like a milk jug and adding concrete for setting your conduit -whatever you use you could use PVC as well , setting it in concrete just to make it sturdy for stormy days with wind , that’s what I did - actually planted four poles in small buckets of concrete in the ground so that I made a greenhouse frame , it has worked out wonderfully and I’ve had big wind, storms and big storms and ice and what not. That is what I did and , I actually planted those buckets in the ground with those conduits coming up to make a framing . In your situation it would give it some strength and weight so it wouldn’t fly around if you had a storm or heavy weather and all 🌹❣️

People have been putting concrete in the pots for weights to keep the pipe stable. You could still do half and half and have a plant on top with holes in the sides for water to flow out.

I have the same, perfect shade cloth over my plants! In case you need some reinforcement, we figured out that the cloth can be easily reinforced along the binding by making a small hole with an Exacto knife and running zip ties through the holes to attach securely to the poles.

The great thing about emt conduit, is that if you cut it short like you said you did, you can buy couplers and add any size back in, for example my emt posts are also 7', but the pad slopes about 3", so all I really need to do to level it out is buy 2 couplers and add 3 " to the low side. Couplers are really cheap and you should have scrap.

Love the conduit idea. We used the same ties for some sunshades we have on our patio and those things only last maybe a mont againdt our high desert sun. Instead, we have gone to polypropylene rope/string and 1/4” hose we had from some old water filter systems. We have also electrical wire and those plastics seem to last much longer than those ties you have. I have hung shade cloths over most of my garden just using strings and ropes. They worked well last summer and part of the winter, where they worked to keep frost off.

A good video. I'm looking at doing something similar in my narrow path beside my home to stop all the leaves from neighbours trees. Just a tip if hammering anything into the ground know where the pipes or underground electrical cables are. In Australia we have a number we call "Dial before you dig". A few years ago a young man working at at a neighbours house died when he hit electrical cables.I think I'll use PVC conduit and possibly attach to fence and home or use cement weights. As I need to move it every few months to trim trees. I'll build it on a angle so most of leaves go back to the neighbours since it's their trees.

Your video is actually an excellent find for me. I commissioned a birdcage. Then when I remembered to check with the HOA. They tell me I cant have one ( just out) in my backyard.

This build, is an economical idea and will also create a more natural environment for my ( future) birds, because of the plants. I have good tree coverage so I may not cover the entire top.

I have been pondering for a few years how to put up a durable shade cloth. This year really convinced me to get going. You made it look so simple. Since my garden doesn't have any protection from the sun on the sides I would have to get a longer tarp so the sides would be protected somewhat. Thanks for the information. One suggestion if you don't mind. I would fill the bucket with rocks or concrete to make the one pole stable. When soil dries out the pots might get unstable..

This is a great DIY idea but my concern is the rust factor since the conduit isn't rust proof. I think a cheap and effective way to do this is with PVC pipes instead and equally as effective.
@H1ST0RYWriter Жыл бұрын
They're made from aluminum. They don't rust. Thanks to its natural coating of aluminum oxide, it doesn't corrode. Alternatively, conduit can be made from galvanized steel, which also doesn't rust. PVC, on the other hand, will weaken under constant sun exposure and the UV rays will cause eventual failure.
