Check out NFPA 79 - Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery. It has loads of info on that sort of thing. I used to refer to it regularly in my machine controls design days, and most panels I work in now are designed to meet those guidelines.

Thanks. Took me a year, but i finally added the front door :) i found that the fence stringers seemed to be not quite exactly perpendicular to the slats, and parallel to each other, so there's a few small alignment issues. I had to add a shim on the door frame do that a rectangular door would fit and swing properly. Overall, I'm still very happy with this design, and surprised at how dry it stays inside - with the slat walls, I really expected rain to splash through, but with the exception of a few hard driving trains, it is always dry in there! Again, thanks for the idea.

I've since moved from that apartment, so I don't have access to show you any recent pictures. I have made a new wicking bed garden at my new house. I have attached an image of that from this spring, before I planted anything in it.Good luck!

Nice write-up! This is the sort of thing I'd like to try out in the future.One note: White PVC tends to degrade when exposed to UV (it takes a couple of years to get real brittle). It may be a good idea to spray paint exposed plastic black to protect it.
