Do -it -yourself flowers shelves

Flowers are the best decoration of any home, so their lovers often face the problem of placing pots and flowerpots. The shelves for flowers should first of all be spacious, compact and convenient, so their construction requires attention and strength. We will consider how to make a shelf for flowers further.

Shelves for flowers: types and features

The type of shelf that is necessary for the installation of colors depends on many factors, such as:

• number of plants;
• type of room;
• the appearance of the room;
• type of plant;
• individual preferences of the owner.

Therefore, when choosing a shelf designed to place colors, all these factors should be taken into account. Depending on the number of places for flowerpots, shelves are:

• single;
• double;
• multi -seater.

The first option implies the location of only one flowerpot. Such shelves are installed both in rooms and on the street, for example, at the front door. On single shelves, plants of a winding type look good, with a large number of leaves and flowers. There are such shelves:

• wall;
• floor.

Floor shelves involve the installation of a large flowerpot with plants in the form of trees.

Double shelves are suitable for installing the same type of plants that feel well under the same climatic conditions, for example, in the shade.

Many -seater shelves occupy either a certain section of the wall or the entire wall. Such shelves are also both wall and floor. In most cases, wall shelves are small in size, as they are not able to withstand the greater severity from the soil in flowerpots, but the floor shelves perfectly accommodate several dozen flowerpots with flowers.

Photos of color shelves:

In addition, flower shelves are corner. This type is capable of placing from one to seven flowerpots. Also, the shelves for flowers are ceiling. They are attached directly to the ceiling and involve the placement of climbing plants.

In the ratio with the material from which the flower vases are made by: they are divided into:

• wooden;
• plastic;
• metal;
• glass;
• combined.

Shelves for wood flowers are the most common, but at the same time not very practical. Since it is known, the tree is unstable before moisture, and flowers require frequent irrigation and spraying. Therefore, before the construction of such a shelf, thorough processing of wooden parts is required, otherwise, such a shelf will not serve its owner even a year.

Plastic shelves cannot be built independently, they are sold in specialized stores. Among the advantages of this type of shelves, practicality, a variety of forms, ease of use, ease of care and a variety of colors are distinguished.

Metal shelves for flowers are stable and quite heavy. At the same time, we should not forget that the metal is a material subject to corrosion. Therefore, it requires thorough treatment with anti -corrosion solutions. Metal shelves are decorated with forged parts, in any interior they look beautiful and elegant.

Glass shelves for flowers are particularly sophisticated, as they make the room more air and light. To build such shelves, it is necessary to have certain skills in working with glass. The option of decorating the shelf with mosaics, stained -glass windows or printing on glass is possible. This type of shelves requires careful care, so it is very impractical.

Combined shelves for flowers involve the use of several materials in the process of their construction. For example, wooden shelves are decorated with forged elements, metal pipes are added to the glass surfaces, in the form of a frame for a shelf, etc.

Do -it -yourself flowers shelf: simplified version

This model of the shelf differs in the ease of construction, and cheapness, since in the presence of a sheet of plywood, the costs of its construction are minimized. The size of the shelves for colors and their spaciousness depends on the size and thickness of the plywood sheet. The thicker the plywood, the more the regiment will be.

To build such a shelf, you will need:

• plywood sheet;
• two nickelled or galvanized pipes;
• finishing materials for surface treatment, in the form of varnish or paint.

From the tools you need to prepare:

• electric jigsaw;
• electric drill with special nozzles;
• roulette;
• sandpaper.

In the ratio with the location of the rack, determine the necessary size of the shelf and its spaciousness. Make a drawing to accurately calculate every centimeter of free space. In a ratio with it, draw the contours of the shelf on the plywood sheet and proceed to cut the parts. The construction option is possible as a standard shelf in the form of a square or rectangle, since non -standard structures with wave -shaped or elliptical cuts. It all depends on the interior of the room and the fantasy of the manufacturer.

Using an electric jigsaw, cut the desired shape. Mark the details for installation of pipes. Using the electric drill, the holes of the required size for installation of pipes. All wooden components should be treated with sandpaper or grinding machine.

Cover plywood parts with special materials that increase their stability before moisture and antiseptics that prevent the formation on the surface of the fungus or mold. The following is the procedure for their coating using paint and varnishes.

The next step is to fix the structure on the surface of the wall. At the bottom of the shelf, attach metal brackets and drill special holes through which they fix them to the wall using self -tapping screws. Follow the strength of the design and the reliability of the connections, since it is on these factors that the safety of people who are near the shelf depends.

Wall shelves for wood flowers: Shelving structure

Before the construction of this model, a drawing should be made by which the blanks will be cut out. The rack for flowers has sizes:

• length - 60 cm;
• width - 23 cm;
• height - 70 cm.

It will be safely located on it up to ten flower pots, since the rack consists of three levels. To build such a shelf for flowers, you will need the presence:

• six wooden boards, the length of which is 200 cm, and the cross section is 3.5x5 cm;
• two bars, 200 cm long, 2x2 cm with a section;
• several dozen nails, the length of which is 2.5 and 4 cm;
• finishing materials in the form of varnish or paint.

In addition, it is necessary to prepare the tool in the form of a saw, a hammer, a grinding machine or sandpaper and roulette.

Thin strips will be required for the manufacture of shelves, and from bars we will make rack racks. The first stage includes cutting wooden blanks into parts in the form of eighteen elements. For their manufacture, it is necessary to measure 60 cm from the length of the board.

On the beam, markings are made by a length of 70 cm, from it it will turn out four elements in the form of racks. From the remains of the timber, cut the elements, the length of each 23 cm.

Put all the racks on the workplace, place them parallel to each other, make markings at the place of fixing the first, second and third shelf. Their height depends on the type and height of the plants that will be located on them. Each of the shelves consists of six planks. The shelves are connected by end parts using parts from a bar of 23 cm. Their fixation is carried out using nails, 2.5 cm long. Using a grinding machine, process the end areas and sharp edges of the rack. Cover the finished product using an antiseptic, varnish or paint.

How to build a shelf for flowers on a windowsill

This type of shelf will fit perfectly at any size window. Its construction will require:

• two wooden rails;
• several glasses, the number of which depends on the size of the window.

When choosing glass, make sure that it is hardened, and its thickness was not less than 0.5 cm. Since the severity of the flowerpots with flowers will significantly affect the strength of the structure.

For the manufacture of vertical rails, a tree is perfect, its thickness affects the thickness of the groove in which the glass is installed. Such a shelf model has a special advantage: it is able to let light through itself, so all plants will be fully obtained.

If the thickness of the shelf is about 40 cm, then the groove will be 15-20 cm. In this case, the rails will be required, 35 cm thick. A combination of wood with glass makes this shelf not only practical, but also beautiful. In addition, in order to facilitate the load on the shelf, it is recommended to make the lower part of it from wood. Such a shelf for flowers on the window can place up to fifteen flower flowerpots.

Combined shelf for flowers: wood and metal

Such a shelf is wall and consists of metal welded racks and wooden partitions on which flowers are located.

To make a shelf, it will require the presence of metal rods with a diameter of 10 mm. When arranging the floor option, the use of metal corners is recommended. Before building a shelf, it is necessary to determine the place of its location, and in accordance with this parameter, its size is selected.

We offer to consider the structure of such a shelf with dimensions:

• side circuits of length - 90 cm;
• width - 20 cm.

This option implies the presence of four shelves with an interval of 30 cm. Small flowers will fit perfectly on the shelf, and the upper shelf is suitable for high plants.

The connection of the racks occurs by welding the crossbars among themselves, and a wooden structure holding flowers is installed on the frame.

The number of elements for strapping should be sufficient for the construction of four tiers of the shelf. The welded structure after manufacture is painted with a paint and covered with an anti -corrosion solution.

Next, the process of cutting wooden parts is 60 cm long. Next, the strips are laid together and fixed using a bar, the length of which is 20 cm.

To fix the structure on the wall, use screws. Follow the strength of the structure and reliability of the mount. The interval between fixing the shelf with fasteners is a maximum of 50 cm. The following is the coating with paint or varnish of wooden surfaces. After their drying, the regiment is ready for use for its intended purpose.

Floor shelves for flowers from the windowsill

An original and practical solution is to make a shelf for flowers using a window sill from plastic windows. This material is characterized by high strength characteristics, is not subject to moisture and easy to care, therefore, it is able to serve in the form of a shelf for many years.

To make such a shelf, you will need:

• plastic standard windowsill, 390 cm long;
• three pipes covered with zinc;
• nine flange fasteners;
• two brackets.

First of all, it is necessary to cut a plastic window sill into three parts, each length of each is 190 cm. These parts must be drilled so that they make three holes for installing a galvanized pipe. Two holes are located around the edges, and one in the middle, slightly forward. In all blanks, the holes should be drilled in the same place. Otherwise, the shelf will turn out to be a curve.

Next, cutting three pipes is carried out, which should have the same length. The design is attached with screws that tighten flanges. Installing the shelf on the floor occurs using the same parts. The lower fixation of the pipes is carried out using screws and flanges. To increase the strength and stability of the shelf, it is necessary to pull the brackets on top, fixed on the wall with screws.

Corner shelf for flowers: phased structure

The corner shelves for flowers are designed to install one or more flowerpots, in the second option, you should make an angular shelf, in the form of a rack.

To make a standard shelf for placing one vason, the presence of residues from a sheet of chipboard, pipes, preferably made of galvanized steel and fasteners, which will help to connect all the elements and fix the shelf on the wall.

Such a shelf is collected very simply, it is enough to cut a sheet of chipboard of the desired size and shape and make a hole in it to install the pipe. Flanges and screws will help you connect wooden and metal blanks, and brackets will fix the shelf on the wall. The following is a procedure for staining the shelves, in accordance with the general design of the room.

Making a multi -tiered shelf for flowers with your own hands

This model of the shelf involves the installation of a large number of flower pots, but at the same time it occupies a minimum of free space. The manufacture of such a shelf is relevant for owners of small apartments or houses. At the same time, the shape of the shelf does not interfere with the hit of the light on any of the pots, so the flowers are in almost the same climatic conditions.

The main components of such a shelf are the floor platform with four legs, on which racks made of chrome pipes are fixed. These racks hold four shelves located at different from the floor.

To build a multi -layer shelf for flowers, you will need:

• multi -layer plywood, with a minimum thickness of 1.5 cm, preferably with the presence of water -repellent impregnation;
• several chrome pipes with a diameter of 2.5 cm, with a total length of 5.1 m;
• seventeen flanges for pipes;
• five threaded bushings;
• four furniture supports;
• several screws and screws;
• five furniture bolts;
• furniture edge in the same color with pipes;
• aerosol cylinder, for painting the structure;
• putty for working with wooden surfaces.

This shelf should be stable, as it will withstand weight not only from flowers, but also from wet heavy soil in flowerpots.

In addition, you will need the presence of such tools as:

• electrician;
• pipe cutting tool;
• screwdriver;
• electric drill;
• grinding machine;
• screwdriver.

This stand will delight its owners not only with beauty and functionality, but also with practicality and grace.

Using the drawings of the shelves for flowers, saw the plywood and prepare the details for the lower shelves:

Process all the blanks using a grinding machine. On the details that is located from below make holes to install furniture bolts. On blanks in the form of shelves, measure the places in which racks and areas will pass through them for the installation of flanges. To drill holes for pipes, it is recommended to use a drill with a diameter of 2.5 cm.

To smooth out the surface of the sawn shelves, use wood putting. After drying it, use a small net for grinding. Next, paint the shelves using an aerosol spray with paint of the desired color. After completely drying the paint, paste the end sections of the shelves using a furniture edge.

This is followed by the process of preparing the tubes, the presence of five parts will be required for the shelf:

• one in the form of a rack by 60 cm;
• one rack 90 cm;
• three racks of 1.2 m.

Use a pipe cutter to cut the metal. It will provide a beautiful and smooth surface of the ends. In its absence, it is possible to use a hacksaw for metal.

The completion of the work includes the assembly of all parts. Such a prefabricated design will delight the eye in any corner of the room, but in order for it to serve as long as possible, the reliability of the attachment of all parts with each other should be ensured.

First, all racks are attached to the lower base. Their fixation is carried out using furniture bolts. The flanges are put on the racks and screw them to the main part. Their fixation occurs using self -tapping screws. In the same way, all shelves are fixed. The interval between them is 30 cm. When all the shelves are installed, it is necessary to attach furniture supports to the lower base. The manufacture of the shelf is considered completed on this, it is ready to fulfill its direct duties.
