20140325904 | PLYWOOD GARDEN CONTAINER - The instant invention provides a plywood garden container that is inexpensive to manufacture, that may be produced sustainably, that is lightweight, that is durable, that is not prone to bowing of straight sides, that preserves the shape of curved sides, that is not prone to aliasing during handling, and that may be of any desired shape. A plywood garden container includes plywood boards (sides) to form an outer structure. Lightweight posts or hinges are disposed at each corner of the structure to hold sides upright and to enclose a plywood garden container. Wooden parts of a plywood garden container are painted with a food-grade paint before assembly in order to seal the wood. A sheet of wire mesh is pulled taught across an underside of the structure and secured with anchors. A plywood garden container includes an open top. After a garden is planted in a plywood garden container, the wire mesh distributes pressure away from the corners and to all parts of the container. A novel use for food-grade paint extends the useful life of the instant invention. | 11-06-2014 |
