This weekend saw me working in the driveway while I had the dry skies to take advantage of. Sunday morning was damp, but quit by 10AM. Hopefully, it went south to help David out.
The bollards are done.
I took this
To this
And they’re now mounted where they’ll do the most good.
The wife found some planters that were as near perfect for the beams as I think we could expect to find. I welded some all-thread to the top of the beams, drilled the planters and secured them with a washer and nut. They’re currently filled with some mulch so that the flowers she plants next Spring will have some food awaiting them.
The neighbors had a football party, and as you can see, I got the bollards set in just in time.
I also completed my mother’s birthday gift.
A bench for her yard.
I found a stack of Trex boards at the local big orange box hardware/lumber store that was a “special order that was returned”. So instead of paying $2+ per foot, I paid $0.48. I only needed one board for this project, but I bought all eight that they had. I’m formulating another project for the wife that’ll look similar to this
Except made out of steel and Trex.
Phil, how did you anchor the bollards?
