For our vertical garden, we originally planned to build a freestanding T-shaped structure that would balance plants like a mobile. We did not have our material list in time for Jon to go to Home Depot and get what we wanted but in the end it worked out. Since we didn't have an initial material list, we had to make due with what was already there. Jon had left over supplies so now we are going to build a different free standing structure. We jumped around with few ideas, like getting a soda bottle and cutting holes in it, or even manipulating a fence like structure to hold up plants, but those ideas were to no avail. Our first prototype design was a wooden post with metal bolts that would hug around the wooden post which would also hold up either plastic or smaller wooden beams. Those beams, in turn, would hold up the plant-pots with string or metal wire. It is going to be based on an 8 foot tall wooden post that will have holes drilled into the side. These holes will house tubing that will come out the side and plants will be hanged on them. Each tube pole will be coming out a different direction and also be a different size for uniqueness and variety. We decided that would be overly complicated, so we simplified it.
