Handy House: plant gazebo
​                                       February 2017
I recently came across a genius upcycle application for an old gazebo as a plant house. This disused people structure has been converted into a Taj Mahal-like plant oasis, protecting plants within from pest attack and hail damage with white nylon bird netting.
 
The aluminium frame of the gazebo is secured to an enclosure of 1m high chicken netting on three sides and the boundary timber paling fence on the other; making it a comfortable working height when inside. The ensemble is complete with a sturdy recycled gate.
 
This plant gazebo could easily be converted to a shade house or hothouse by covering it in shadecloth or durable plastic respectively.
