How disappointing and mundane! I thought it was some secret plaster finishing trick of the trade that I was about to learn with which to amaze the next plasterer I meet (not just the vertically challenged ones).

If you could cut off the bottom, you could nail or screw it onto a shed wall about 3ft from the ground, to make a handy garden cane holder. My canes all live leaning in a stack in the corner of the shed, tall ones, short ones (some as big as your head
) and pulling one out always results in the entire stack falling over in a tangle. With that crate you could segregate all the different lengths beautifully.

Mothhawk, have you tried using a pallet stood on its side so that you drop the canes down into it?Originally posted by mothhawk View PostIf you could cut off the bottom, you could nail or screw it onto a shed wall about 3ft from the ground, to make a handy garden cane holder.

It could, as long as there was an easy way to remove them without damaging the roots. Each section is about 10" deep so it might be awkward to get them out.Comment

What about... a few sheets of A4, 6 kitchen roll inners..
Make paper airplanes out of the paper, stuff the kitchen rolls in the crate, angle it - then you can play airplans and have the new SAM fire missiles at it!Comment
