Window Sill Ledge Shelf for Plants

If you wanted to add a ledge to your window area without having to do permanent damage this instructable is for you. This expands my area to add another level of house plants. No nails or screws is needed and it's held up very well over these last few months.

This is a simple project without the need of nails. It's all glue and 3M stuff.

Cut the wooden posts to the right length. Then use some wood glue and clamp them in place. Every window will be different so measure twice and cut once.

Glued

After it's left drying for at least a night, you can go to the next step of installing it.

Cut the 3M strips in half and then stick to the window ledge. You can then attach the other side to the Mosslander.

It's now complete. Most of the weight is held by the window and the wooden posts. The 3M tape just prevents it from sliding around.
