Mark Rayner shows how to build a simple storage cupboard for gardening equipment.
You will need: Four old louvre cupboard doors, 22mm plywood, 25mm x 25mm timber battening, an approx 250mm length of 50mm x 50mm timber, screwdriver, saw, drill, paintbrush, exterior PVA glue, 40mm zinc-plated or stainless steel screws, 75mm zinc-plated or stainless steel screws zinc plated, stainless steel or galvanised hinges zinc-plated, stainless steel or galvanised latch or lock. Resene Quick Dry waterborne primer undercoat and Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Chelsea Cucumber.
To get the look: Mark painted the background wall with Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Pale Prim.
Top tip: When using screws, always drill pilot holes first to prevent wood and plywood splitting.
Step 2
Attach three of the cupboard doors together with PVA glue and screws, as shown, to form the sides and back of the unit.
Step 5
Measure and cut six lengths of 25mm battening to form the shelf supports. Fix to the inside of both side walls of the unit with PVA glue and screws. Measure and cut three piece of plywood to form the shelves.
Step 6
