These were part of a shipping container or something - anyway we wanted a potting bench and these seemed ideal. Fixing 8 together for the deck gave a work area 560mm deep:
On the underside I fixed a couple of batons of the timber to hold the deck flat, then on top fixed edges on the side and further planks to the back to avoid soil / plants / pots falling off - using the remaining timber I made a shelf underneath to carry compost and pots. Finished article is quite tall - about 1m to the deck - this is deliberate, to be comfortable to work at when standing:
The whole thing is held together with 5x70mm screws (about 70) so total cost in consumables around £3.50. It is quite heavy to move though hopefully will be long lasting...
