From Broken Garden Hose to Plant Trellis to Temp Gate

I wanted to repurpose my garden hoses. I had 2 that were no longer good for using as hoses. The heavy duty one sprung a leak and the light duty one kept kinking up when I tried to use it for watering. I kept the broken hoses because there are a lot of things you can use them for to repurpose. I planned on turning them into a plant trellis using a left over wooden upright from my garage shelf renovation as the trellis frame.
I first cut off the ends of the hoses with a PVC cutter. Next I measured the long side of the upright and cut my hoses into equal pieces to fit across the frame. I then grabbed some 1. 25 inch nails and began hammering away attaching my hose pieces horizontally to the wooden upright.
Once those were all nailed into place, I cut 4 more pieces into equal lengths to weave vertically through my horizontal pieces using an under and over weave. I had the trellis laying on its side while working, so my horizontal is the length of the upright.
Below is the weave action of under over. After the 4 short pieces were woven in, I nailed them onto the upright. I ran out of my short gray hose but had 110 feet of black hose left to work with. Yay!
I didn’t measure spacing or anything, I just eyeballed it. The side I was working on was the intended front of my trellis but the back turned out looking better, so I used the backside as the front side.
So after a little bit of cutting and hammering, the trellis was ready for a climbing plant.
Since I had all of the materials on hand, I’m not sure what it would actually cost to make one of these. I just thought it would be fun to post a project using stuff that was laying around taking up space.
Before the trellis even made it into my garden, I turned it horizontally and decided

Herb Garden in Patio Table
This easy table modification all started because we live in cow country and where you have cows, you have flies. They drive me crazy in the summer so I am always looking for ways to deter them. The other day I was at OSH and the sales lady said that most herbs are a natural fly repellent. That got me thinking and this project was born. Now the jury is still out if this works on the flies but I love the end results anyway.
