  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 มี.ค. 2022
  • Materials For ONE obelisk. Price will vary depending on location
    (4) 2x2x8 pressure treated lumber ($22.32 no tax added)
    (6) 1x2x8 pressure treated lumber ($16.08 No tax added)
    1" screws (you can use nails if you choose)
    Tools
    circular or table saw
    Drill (or hammer)
    pencil
    measuring tape
    square
    My measurements were as follows: We cut down the 8ft 2x2x8 to 7ft. We then cut the 1x2x8 into 5 small pieces for each side of the legs. 1st piece at the bottom was 24" followed by 18", 14", 9", 5. We repeated this whole process on all 4 sides. In between each section, we went by increments of 16". Any questions Please leave them in the comments.

    Props to your husband, one thing that I do is cut the legs with a miter of 7 degrees (bevel 7 degrees too), and the cross beams with a 45 degree miter and 7 bevel...that way you get a finished corner look and it is structurally stronger. Only a tip as I learned it from a carpenter. Also, for anyone reading this, try staining the pressure treated wood with a dark stain, allow to dry, then completely paint with a bold color (semi gloss). After it a day or so, use a sander to remove parts of the paint leaving a bicolor, antique look. Seal with a satin or semi gloss poly and voila, $$$

    My hubby has built me 2 rose arbors and among other things here and there. He ran electrical out to various areas in the garden for me too. He is putting in an outside sink for me this year with a potting counter. (I had the plumbing run last summer). I installed a new pond last year and he helped me out a lot. When it was time to place all the large stone around, he and my son laid it all out for me. I am spoiled. He must love me.

    We made trellises like these 7 years ago but with much cheaper wood. (I think they were sold as garden stakes.) Reviews said they’d only last one year. We painted them with 1 coat of textured deck paint and they’re still going strong! We get 100+ in the summer and several months of snow in the winter and they stay out in it all. Go for the decking paint! The texture is a bonus as climbing plants can grip it easier.
