OP FRITO Member F Joined: Oct 2004 FL	Today decided to do a little project. My chinese fan palm recently planted in an old washing machine drum as a pot. the drum itself weighs 50 lbs along with about 3 cubic feet of soil. it weighs in at about 100lbs total! Made a dolly to scoot the pot around to water and what not. a single 12ft piece of 1x4 pine was used. along with 4 casters and some exterioir wood screws. treated the pine with a wood preservative. dimensions are 2ft x 2ft Luke
