Welly tree....

Post by Willow »

This was an old plant container, part filled it with cement and shoved 'half' broomhandles into it.. Its a 'home' for the dirty wellies and keeps them dry inside..

Oh, I forgot to say, if you make the back posts slightly longer than the front ones, it makes grabbing the dirty wellies easier & less messy :shock:

Willow, great idea. My wellies are always outside of front door (poor postman has tripped over them a few times!).

Yesterday went out to put them on and forgot it had been raining, I hate cold damp feet.

That's a really cheap way of making a stand for your wellies, my friend's husband bought her a metal one last year and it was well over £50. I've got one of those containers in the back garden and we've got plenty of plaster/cement from having building work done, so am going to give that a go this weekend.

Do I need to treat the wood with anything?
