Thank you all VERY MUCH! I'm positively glowing from your praises!

More info... the structures are 6 feet tall, 4 feet wide...the shelf area is 12 inches deep and covered with vinyl-coated hardware cloth. They are free-standing so that I can move them about should I need to (or lay them down in the event we have a hurricane!). The lattice is the plastic molded stuff...so that I wouldn't have to deal with rot on such a thin wood. The frame is mostly 2x4 treated pine, and I used a semi-transparent stain to get the wood to be more uniform in color. The top overhang is 24 inches deep, and intended to support a light shade cloth, which I just draped over the tops moments ago. More and detailed photos will be forthcoming!

Connie, me and my power tools...I love to make stuff, too! My spouse got me a double-bevel power miter saw for Christmas two years ago, and between that and my 18 volt cordless drill I'm in tool heaven...
