Easy Elevated Dog Bowl
Zoe’s New Elevated Dog Bowl I decided to build a simple elevated dog bowl holder. I used a tape measure to find the desired height of the elevated bowl. I measured Zoe’s front legs at about 10" long. So, I went with 9" long for the leg height (plus 3/4" for the table width = ~10"). I figured I could add a button or something else if I needed a little more height. I didn’t need it. I went to the local “box store” and purchased a single 6ft long x 1ft deep x 3/4" wide (cheap ~$10) #2 pine board. For the center support, I used a 1" unfinished square pine “leg” I had hanging around and cut it to size. I also bought a can of Polycrylic and a 2in paintbrush. The 2in paintbrush ended up working out well for this small project.

Bucket Gardening
Building the Bucket Garden I followed the YouTube guide below to build the bucket garden frame. My Adjustments I turned the crossbeams on their side (for more strength) I lengthened the outer frame and crossbeams to 65" (instead of 55") to fit five buckets on each level I attached the bottom crossbeam to the front of the frame I cut a piece of wood to hold the top crossbeam in place Lengthening the 55" boards to 65" allowed me to increase the number of buckets from four to five (barely). It also increased the weight.
