Hanging Basket Trellis

This is a bunk bed futon that I found in the trash and I recycled it into a hanging basket trellis. While creating this I used a MIG welder, Matabo to cut things, a flat washer to hang the basket from, and lastly a can of black spray paint for the finishing touches.    This can be made at TechShop http://www.techshop.ws/

Then I began assembling the trellis at a 45 degree angle so it could be a free standing structure using a MIG welder and added a washer so a basket could hang in the middle
