Needed to build a three-sided sun shade for my (3) 17 year old rescued cats. I was able to use 2x4's for three sides around the deck but did not want to anchor an eyebolt into the house. Trying to find a stud under vinyl siding is a bear and I came across your delightful video. I found a tall recycled plastic planter at Home Depot with a decent sized base. I added 100 pounds of Fast-set Concrete anchoring a ground-contact 2x4 and it worked like a champ! Thank you young lady for an exceptional idea and presentation. With respect, your new subscriber.
Nice idea & they look great.
A couple of ideas…
Concrete will retain water & rust pole so maybe worth drilling out the bottom of the planters & up into the centre of the pole.
I usually dip the base of poles in isoflex or other rubber sealant for longevity against corrosion.
Rather than use tape, get your hubby to hold them in place while they dry next time lol
I like your style! Direct without a lot of rambling. Clear explanation and excellent video editing. Thanks for sharing this is a great project that I can do in a weekend. You earned a new sub.
Exactly!!! Someone who is short sweet and to the point WITHOUT HAVING TO LISTEN TO STUPID OBNOXIOUS MUSIC!!!!!!!
Home Depot black fencing pipe is perfect for all of this stuff and I think even less expensive than the closet rod used here ... also lots of pieces that attach to the for attaching string lighting to.
Simple and cute!!
Great step by step video- thank you!
Your place is beautiful!! ❤
Love how these turned out. Great job 👏
Thanks for the instructions. Your house is so darling!!
Fantastic job- as always!!
Genius creation!
Well done!
Used top rail for fence then add dry concrete alternate with enough water to activate. Makes poles rigid you can buy short extensions on line to add height to poles
Simplemente espectacular
Beautiful
Very cute idea. But I think bases would need to be much wider and also if they are ceramic the concrete will expand in heat and break them
Awesome idea. Great video. Thanks 👍
I like your Independents & your Beauty Gal definitely know what your doing
😊 I’m going to try this !!! I’ve been buying things for my deck and this would be a great to bring in light and style
Love this pole idea and the outcome so awesome! 🤩 We mounted our 40” tv using the ZeboZAP to our gazebo post without drilling, 😍
loving our outdoor living now. 😎
????????????😮
Very lovely. Great, great job, ill be doing this soon!
Beautiful video thanks ❤
Wow ❤❤❤
So fit
I’ve done something like this for a wedding one time as long as there’s plenty of concrete in the base of your planters it will stay up and not fall over. I’m thinking about doing this project again but using solar string lights
I will try this one!!!
❤ wearing. Mask, gloves, and eye glasses😅.
That’s genius
So gorgeous 😍 the project looks great too
Calm your loins
@@jquiznos2283No!
Throughoult my late teens and early twenties, I had worked t several specialty hardwood lumber yards that catered to real craftsmen.
The most talented were the old timers in their 70's & 80's. and a few young progenies. Very few.
You are one of those few. It takes either special talent or years of experience. Oh, the stuff you will come up with in your golden years.
Shout out to Lee Shields from Orange County, Cal if he's out there. He was the best.
Interesting idea.
Very creative. I like the mailbox also. Well honestly the whole patio area is nice and welcoming.
Looks great!
Where did you get the patio chairs? Love them!!
Where did you purchase the planters? Love this idea.
I love, not only your talent and ideas but your femininity as well.
A treated 4x4 post will rot faster than an untreated closet rod cap?
Where did you get the planters, and would it be possible to lift one on to a scale and see how heavy it is?
Hey, where did you buy the planters?
These are nice but I'm afraid they would tilt during a windy day.
Hey, where did you buy those big planters?
Rigid pvc rods for the win.
What type of trees are those that are next to your patio area? The mushroom miniature ones?
Why did you use toggle bolts? You glued the top, so did you use them so the screw eye hook woouldnt wiggle? Also, dontou have concerns that it may rust? I really like what you made, but I'm concerned they'll rust out in a couple of years at the least convenient moment.
Thanks for posting! It was helpful ans inspiring.
Did you add the sand while it was still wet?
❤❤❤❤❤❤
What about pvc pipes? Or do these last less time?
Are the lights solar powered or do you have to plug them in?
Great idea! My wife has been wanting me to do this for a bit. We have a pergola with lights, but she wants them extended from the deck to the patio. A few neighbors tried this, but it's pretty clear they did not use concrete.
The only addition I can think of would be a drill hole at the top of the concrete to allow for rainwater to migrate. Would probably need some filter fabric for the sand, or eliminate the sand?
I was thinking the same thing. I was considering drilling holes at the bottom then adding stones and sand for weight either all the way to the top or high enough before adding potting soil so it can have plants. Idk. What do you think?
@@jquiznos2283 I think the concrete is key to hold the curtain rod in place. multiple holes could be drilled horizontally into the pot, around the pot, at the level of the concrete.
What are the lights up lighting your trees?
What size planters?
You need pots that are more stable. Wider on the bottom.
Ok is someone telling her what to say off camera
Or is she reading a instructions manual
Girl got CAKE!!
Base not wide enough. Also put the post in first then pour in the concrete then add water
Great Idea, I want this, question where is the Pole's link? Thanks!
She does not reply ..... Don't waste your time, well maybe she will NOW that i am calling her out
Hello turkey..😊
They may not rot, but won’t they rust?
Could always spray paint them with a primer/sealer like Rustoleum has in clear. Lowes also has the rods with hooks in them for $35 each that has two different mounting base options. A lot cheaper than this 😂 But, I get the idea.. 😊
@@JudicialMermaid sorry wasn’t criticising, more thinking out loud. Moving to a new house soon and will use this method, as thought the wood post ones were too heavy looking. Love from the UK 🇬🇧
I agree, here in FL, those wouldn’t last even one year before rusting through. I have used 1 3/4 inch PVC pipe which I painted to match my patio decor, and it worked great. I’ve now had them for 3 years and they look as good as the day I made them!
@@NitrosMom074when it gets hot, does the PVC warp and lean?
@@jquiznos2283 no it doesn’t. I used the rigid pvc used for plumbing in either 1 3/4 or 2 inch. I use a pipe cap on top to prevent water getting inside.
What kind of trees are those at the minute 5:43?
I was wondering the same thing. Looks like weeping cherry
Dame trabajo
Are these plastic planters????
Welcome to Florence Italy, in my company ❤❤❤❤
DOES NOT WORK! Bought all of the same products and planter and one gust of wind they fell over and cracked! Waste of time and a lot of money!
lol why are you copying these diy channels that clearly have no idea wtf they are doing
@@TheBooze13She probably forgot to wear the butt pants.😮
One gust of wind turned them over? Those pots are pretty, but not functional for that purpose. Personally, I would’ve put a whole bag of concrete in a pot with a wide stable bottom.
Did you miss her instructions at 2:21?
Butt pants make the difference.
You have screwed the toggles onto the eye bolt going through the wooden cap upside-down completely useless in this position
Please stop wearing those rings when your working on projects this is not the first video I have . I have seen what happens first hand to people that do not take that safety tip that was taught to us in shop class decades ago.
That has 0 stability, anybody stumbles upon those poles and your lights are gone.
Need to get some work clothes the yoga look don't really work for construction
Watch your health - dry concrete dust is a killer - always wear a mask and gloves 🙏
Very true advice 😷
it's organic concrete it's safe to eat and breathe it . 😂
😂
Ima keep it 💯 I'm here because of the video thumbnail. Them cakes and it isn't even my birthday
lol. Appreciate seeing some honesty.
I noticed too.
Onlyfans ?? Asking for a friend…😂
