I am looking for a potting bench plan that has containers for dirt sand etc.  Also one that could be hooked up to water.. With places for tools and garden supplies. Marcella

4/15 Answer:

I haven't seen any plans for benches that fit your description but you could probably modify an existing design to fit your needs.  Here's a few of links you may try:
- Western Red Cedar Lumber Association -  Triple duty bench serves as cold frame, propagating bench, and raised planter.  Free online design!
- Sun Country Greenhouse Company -  Free bench design.
-  Outdoor Wood Furniture Inc. -  Benches for sale - scroll down to see a nicely styled potting bench.
- Wolmanized Wood: Free Bench design with roof. Lots of other free plans, too:  
-  U-Bild has several plans and a lot of other wood working projects:
      (1) Redwood Planting Table / Bench Plans for $8.95 - Classy
      (2) U-bild Potting Bench for $9.95 - Nice (Pictured above)
-  Auburn University:  not really a bench but a cold frame for propagating trees.
-  How-To-Do-It Design and Create a Potting Bench with Ron Hazelwood: doesn't show actual plans but pictures and step by step instructions.

I am in the process of designing my own but have been building a house so it will be a while before they're ready.  If I find anything else, I'll let you know.

Hope that helps -- If you find other links, please let me know and I'll add the information to my web site for others!

Thanks for contacting me and great growing!

Thanks for your help....Sun Greenhouse Co.  has a somewhat small potting bench, which is some help.  I think that I will build  on that. Thanks I will let you know how it comes out.  Fine Wood Working magazine may have plans for one.  I will have to add to it I am sure. Thanks Marcella
