It’s hard to say. I would buy individual boards-that way you won’t have to take anything apart. Buy more boards than you think you need, then you can return the unused boards. 🙂

Dear Gail, Thank you I have been looking for exactly this project. I am not a woodworker. I may have to purchase the picket fence. How many sections would I have to get? Thank you.

How sweet of you!! thanks!

You can pick up boards pretty cheap at the hardware store… ask on FB, I bet some family member or friend has some they want to get rid of. 🙂

I just love your site and your wonderful, creative ideas for recycling materials! I need to make this potting bench! Do you think my neighbor would miss just a few sections of his fence? Keep those designs, and fabulous step by step directions coming!

The bench is great, and all reused wood… perfect. I’ve been wanting to make one for years and never got around to it.

My potting shelf is going to be removed. It is attached to the playhouse-turned potting shed-turned back into playhouse to make room for the mud pie station. Soooooo I am going to be in need of a potting bench. I don’t think I will have one before I need to plant flowers this year.

Thank you Nova!

I used the exterior white paint from my new porch posts. I watered it down and applied it with a chip brush. If you find you get too much on, just wash it away (I used the water hose on another project when I got too much paint applied)
be sure to share your project on #SundayShareDay on FB
