Today I’m sharing the globe gentle planter posts I created for our Florida house’s again patio. These are all mobile phone pictures, I didn’t deliver my DSLR digital camera on this journey so the colour, sharpness, and high quality will not be as nice, additionally it’s difficult to seize pictures at twilight, however these are ok to convey the concept.
We have a protracted rectangular patio and I’ve two good seating areas but it surely will get pitch black at evening since there aren’t any exterior lights out right here, so this was my seasonal answer. It’s beautiful throughout the day however oh so darkish at evening so these lights at ambiance and prolong the night hours.
These are the venture sources: two 27” white wavy tall resin planters; two units 25’ white outdoor globe lights; four luggage 50 lb. quick set concrete (2 for every planter); 15 ft outside waterproof extension cord (to plug in lights); two white 96” closet rods; 1¼” screw eye hooks, connected to high of pole and home; 1.5 cubic ft of soil per planter; galvanized wire connecting the sunshine strands to the screw eyes; energy drill and drill bits.
Step One: Drill pilot holes into one finish of the closet rods then connect screw eye hook.
Step Two: Fill every planter with a 50 lb. luggage of concrete following the blending directions. Use stage to make sure rod is straight and stabilize closet pole with painter’s tape permitting concrete to set. Repeat with a second bag for every planter.
Step Three: Just above the cement line drill a couple of drainage holes with a drill bit on one aspect of the planter to permit water to empty from soil. Layer1.5 cubic ft of soil on high of the set cement round every pole in every planter and add vegetation of selection, I used aztek grass.
Step Four: Remove glass bulbs from globe gentle wires. Place planter poles on patio and place globe gentle wires in place, securing the electrical wires to each the highest of the planter poles and your house.
Step Five: Reattach glass bulbs to globe gentle wires, plug in to outside electrical socket with extension twine, and revel in!
