Got a bit bored and wanted to both use up some of the scraps as well as create some place for the garden tools to be more accessible.
So I cut a piece of leftover pegboard I had laying around (it was 4′ [feet] long and about 17″ [inches] wide) into 2, 2′ wide pieces. The top one I cut a peak into for the roof line, and then I put them together by screwing them both to 2 small pieces of scrap 2×6 board from the box.
I screwed 6 more of the scraps to the top for the top, middle and bottom segments of the roof. There where holes in between each segment, and the very peak was uncovered as well.
To cover it while making it accessible, I took leftover strips of pond liner from the Planter Project and stapled them, overlapping as best I can from bottom to top, onto the roof segments. I’ve kept them connected on the bottom still to stop them from blowing around in the wind, but I will probably end up trimming them slightly longer than the board and then attaching them to each other (and the board at the bottom corners) with fishing line or string.
Finally 3 metal clothes hangers were duct-taped and stapled to the back of the structure, which was then hung on the fence on the south side of our patio.
The next transfer of stuff from Brian’s to my [Adam’s] house will include pegboard stuff so I can mount the tools, broom and garden hose inside. My kids reminded me they had some pegboard stuff, so we had enough!
August 2020 update: The protection from the unrelenting rain was inadequate, and the unit slowly melted and ultimately had to be discarded. 🙁 Back to the drawing board!
