You may remember last summer I talked about switching out my terra cotta pots in the backyard for an assortment of vintage galvanized containers.
This year my window box which Tom made a few years ago decided to rot out. This is the third window box that has rotted out in our soggy climate in our 16 years in our house. It needed to be repainted and the right end of it was definitely ragged looking.
It fell apart when we lifted it off the supports. It was time for a new one.
I was going to have Tom build me another, but then I got the idea to see if I could have a galvanized one fabricated for me. I had bought galvanized metal for table tops locally in the past, so I went to the same place, Montavilla Sheet Metal to see if they could do the project.
They could, and I love, love the results.
The top is folded over so no sharp edges and the corners are riveted.
I could not wait to replant it. Now plants just need to grow and fill in.
I'll do another post later on the yard as plants fill in and grow with the season. I love this time of year...and I love that window box!
