Here’s a rough sketch of our design and it’s always helpful to have a visual before you being a diy project!

Build the boxes that will hold the platform shelves first. Take the 4 – 48″ 2 x 4’s and the 4 – 17″ 2 x 4’s and screw them together with 2 1/2″ wood screws (utilizing a screw gun).

Adding the platforms

To build the lower platform, take the 3 – 1 x 6″ x 48″ pieces and screw them to the top of the frame with 1 1/2″ screws. Next, you’ll be building the supports that go inside the upper platform that forms the top of the potting table. Screw the 2 x 2″ x 48″ pieces to the 2 x 4″ x 48″ pieces on the inside of the box. This will provide the support for the 2 x 2 cross pieces, which will make the platform.

Screw the 17″ 2 x 2 cross pieces to the 2 x 2 supports inside the frame.

The platforms are now ready to be attached to the frame of the rolling potting bench.

Attaching the legs

Stand the two boxes that you have just built parallel to each other on the ground. The reason for this is so that you can attach the legs.

Place the boxes approximately 16″ apart.

Take the two 37″ supports (legs) and place them so that the top of the 2 x 4 is aligned with the top box. Screw the 2 x 4’s to the platforms with 2 1/2″ screws.
