| Cedar Shims
Hi everyone, over 10 years ago I made several cedar shim baskets that are still 100% intact, no rotting and good drainage.
I bought a pack of cedar shims used by carpenters at Home Depot, about $2.00 for 100 or so shims. I bought a four wire twisted hook designed for hagning baskets....with a hook at one end, and 12-20 inch straight wires, four of them. I simple cut the shims to length, stacked them alternating, and when I found a set up that looked good, I drilled holes in each corner, fed the wire through and turned the end with round nosed pliers.
I took extra shims and slid them between the bottom two slats to make a bottom for the basket...you can adjust the width between them.
like I said, this was over 10 years ago and they still look and work great. |
