Preethi likes to fill up our balcony with lotsa green patches - from herbs, to ornamental and flowering plants. What started with just one pot, has now mushroomed to over 15 and is looking at ever expanding. This particulary never gets a thumbs up from me as it pervades into my carpentry work space.
Guess she thought, one sure way for me to appreciate her balcony garden, is to have me make something for the garden itself... and maybe that's how the need for the corner stands / shelves emerged. I would have preferred to make the stand with a rounded (quarter) curve, but then it seemed to intrude too much into the already small balcony. So, a triangular stand it was and making it was quite easy . All I had to do was to cut across a square plywood (cut to the required dimension of the corner wall space) diagonally.

I used a .75 inch thick / 1 inch wide plywood beading (L-Shaped and screwed into the wall) to support the triangular plank which was in turn screwed to the L Shaped plywood beading. The plank was sanded and stained before it was installed and now is ready to bear the load of more tiny tots in the future. :)
