Something to build - I have spare timber...

DaveKearley

After building my little pond https://forum.gardenersworld.com/discussion/1068429/can-i-get-a-pond-in-this-space/p1 I have some 3 x 3" timbers left over as I modified the build as things changed 

I have 10 x 75mm 2.4m fence posts that need to be used - not enough to return due to charges and won't fit in my car so I can't drive them back.

I don't mind ordering up a few more for a project, but need to use them for something

Ideas so far are:-
Another, smaller planter,
A rock-topped bubble fountain,
Some type of bench to raise the rear row of plant pots,

As they say, suggestions on a postcard....

This is our little outside space (pre pond build)...

Rustic garden seat ? Bin cupboard ?

I'd do another planter, or two, depending on the overall sizes you can achieve with the wood, and where you would position them. 5 of them would make a 2 foot/60cm square container, at around 15 inch/37.5 cm in height. 6 would give a better height, leaving 4 to make a smaller one, or a trough.
Some lighter weight timber at four or five inches diameter would give a nice coping 'edge' round the tops   

The biggest problem would be cutting it accurately. You'd need a chop saw to get it all properly square.

Tools are not an issue  

Bins are ok and out of sight, thanks.

I think a planter might be the one, the space is a wedge shape so maybe a wedge shape planter to counter the larger square one.

Another option might be a step ladder type construction with plant pots or troughs placed on the steps.You could put a lip on the ‘steps’ and build in a brick caddy at the base for extra stability.

I second that. Would like something like that myself to keep potted herbs off the ground and away from various animals.

Come and finish my steps off if you like! 😉

Come to our village green and build a shelter between two potacabins as a shelter from rain for the local dog walkers.

I see you live in Cornwall, in a younger day I would have been down there in a flash, we love Cornwall

Auricula theatre?

We are also hoping to have a dog memorial bench put in. A bench where local dog walkers can have a small plaque put when they lose a canine companion and bereft owners can sit awhile in remembrance.
