Rustic Sunflower Frame Plan

flowers and other tall plants from flop-

ping over in the garden. For longevity, use

rot-resistant cedar. And before starting,

we cut decorative ends on the 1x4 cross

rails (A), 2x4 ladder uprights (B) and 2x6

posts (D), but this step is optional. Here’s

how to put one together:

Step one: Sink three 36-inch 2x6 posts

(D) into the ground in a straight line,

92 1 / 2 inches apart, center to center. The

tops of all three posts should be 16 inch-

es aboveground and even with each other.

Step two: Using one of the 2x6 posts as

a guide, space two 6-foot 2x4s (B) the width

of the post (about 5 1 / 2 inches). From the top

of the 2x4s, measure down 12 inches, then

attach the first 1x2 ladder rung (C) using

No. 4 galvanized nails. Attach the next

1x2 about 3 5 / 8 inch below the first (the

spacing should be far enough apart to

accommodate the 1x4 cross rails you will

attach in step six).

Step three: Attach two more sets of

1x2 ladder rungs, leaving 18 inches

between the upper edge of top rungs.

Then turn the “ladder” over and repeat

the process.

Step four: Build two more of these lad-

ders, one for the middle of the frame and

one for the other end.

Step five: Lift the ladders over the 2x6

posts that were sunk in the ground. The

ladders will be held in place once you

attach the 1x4 cross rails (A).

Step six: Place the cross rails (A)

between the rungs of the ladder (C) so

the cross rails butt to each other in the cen-

ter (see side view) and extend 3 1 / 2 inches

past the rungs. Predrill the holes, then

attach the cross rails to the 2x4s (B) using

2-inch galvanized screws. ¨
