What an awesome project! This is one I am going to be doing towards the end of winter! I want this up and running ASAP! Check out materials and tools below and then head over to Stephanie Strickland at apartmenttherapy.com,

Materials

• 2x6s in redwood (or 2x12s, which are significantly more expensive) cut to desired lengths
• 2x2s for cover frame (cut to match your 2×6 lengths)
• 2x4s for corner bracing
• Wood screws (coated for weather resistance)
• 10′ 1/2″ PVC pipe
• Pipe clamps
• Large weave wire mesh
• Chicken wire or other small weave mesh
• Zip Ties (for securing mesh to PVC)
• Plastic sheeting or garden cloth (at least 12′ wide and twice the length of your garden)
• Staple gun + staples
• 2 Hinges
• 2 Eye hooks
• 6 ft chain cut into 3 ft lengths

Tools

• Miter Saw
• Drill
• Staple gun

If you have a garden box, to protect your plants, all you have to do is get some pliable metal, and plastic. Just build a frame throughout the box, and secure the plastic firmly on to the frame. If you have single potted plants, just place a trash bag or fleece around the plant. Check out how it’s done via the link below!
