Hey mtieleman! I really appreciate you pointing that I because to be honest, I never really thought about it or knew it would come into play as an issue. It makes total sense. I will be on the lookout to consider grain direction in the future with projects for sure. Thanks again!

Great work! I love this.

Thank you very much!

Thank you nirad!

Thanks so much for the comment and the information. I see what you mean about the mitered joints being stronger. I will give it a shot if I make this again. I attempted the L brackets to make the shelves floating. I hadn't seen them attached like that before. The hardware isn't completely hidden, but I thought it looked nice. I really appreciate the feedback.

Thank you Mipy!

Yes. Thank you prid1! ��

Yea like prid1 mentioned this means it is the outside of the actual tree. It isn't cut or squared off like a board. Hope this helps.

Great job guys! This looks amazing!

Hey EnergyHandyman! Great thoughts. Thanks for your input on the gate. Yes the latch is a bit hefty it does work well though. I intentionally tried to get the gate to not swing towards the stairs mainly because I didn't want anyone to fall into the gate down the steps. It would have been nice to have the gate swing both ways if the latch had been hidden. Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate the comment.

Thank you for the comment! Yes we have to put a pin in the latch so it wont open because he has figured out how to open it. It didn't take long. That is a great idea about adding a second latch. I have considered this in the past and may end up adding it soon. Thank you very much!

Thank you!

I love it beljar! thanks for adding a photo. I totally love the idea of painting the pots. I am gonna have to use that idea. Very cool. I also like the rope you used. If I had to do it over, I would use that rope. Nicely done!

Hey LadyPP. We have a small dog and this gate works great for her also. When ever someone comes in our front door, the gate keeps her back from the stairs so our guests can come inside without a small dog attack. :) Friendly attack that is.. hope this helps.

Thank you very much!

Thank you spark master! We enjoy it more than the plastic ones for sure!

I'm loving the dog jail. haha. Great work. And yes, that is a great thought with emphasizing the openings. Thank you for the comment!

Thanks so much!

Thanks!

Thank you very much.

I totally wish I would have thought of that. Great idea. Thanks for the input.

Thanks provadance! Yes the idea is to let it drip down the levels. I will have to find a solution for the bottom row as the plants grow. I thought about trying to epoxy a drip tray of some sort on the bottom of the bottom row. That is my thoughts anyway. Thanks!

Thanks jwhyte2! I haven't had any issues yet. As the plants grow and need a little more water I will need to add something. I'm thinking I will add a drip tray to the bottom of the lowest row. I will post some pictures when I do to update everyone.

Thanks David!

Yea defiantly the potential to make a mess. I plan to add a drip tray of some sort in the future.

Yea I could have fit 4. There really isn't a reason why i didn't. I just wanted 3, but you could make it however you would want. Using macrame to do this is a really good idea. It would look awesome. Thanks for the comment!
