I found this at Ikea. Im using it on the deck. Ive attached it to the railing and floor with brass L brackets. Prior to installing it I sprayed it with acrylic. Im wondering if the acrylic is enough to withstand the elements ? Should I take it down before the first snowfall ? Its not really meant for the outdoors.

I hope Magenta doesnt find it too trailer trashy. It looks nice with the plants and flowers I have around it.

You'll have trouble next time it blows vigorously round the back.

Its solid. I used 8 L brackets. The only problem I can see is wind through the slats.

Im more interested in the elements effects.

Please dont eat the furniture Jimbo.

Very nice. But do take it down befor winter, so it will last for next year.

I think it will look good could we get a pic of it once out on your deck with all the plants around it.
