Demeter Potting Bench
The Demeter Potting Bench is perfect for starting your seeds in winter, potting up your outdoor planters in spring or using as an
additional table during your summer BBQ’s and outdoor parties. With its wheels and durable, lightweight construction, you can
easily roll this cart anywhere. The side walls keep the mess in your work space and the smooth bottom has a drainage hole allowing
you to direct unused soil and water into a bucket placed on the handy shelf below.
Parts List
Assembly
NOTE: Assembly is easiest with two people.
Step 1. Identify and organize all parts on a clean, level surface. NOTE: The Right Legs are
longer than the Left Legs and have plastic feet on the ends.
Step 2. Lay the two Left Legs parallel to each other and insert the Axle into the bottom
holes on each leg (Figure ).
Step 3. Line up the holes in the Left Panel with the remaining holes in the Left Legs
(Figure ). Insert four bolts through the lined up holes, with the heads of the bolts
on the outside. NOTE: The nuts have a flange or built-in washer on one side. When
attaching the nuts, place them so the flanges are against the Potting Bench.
Step 4. Line up the holes in the Right Panel with the holes in the Right Legs. (Figure )
NOTE: The Legs should be on the outside of the potting bench with the ledge on the
Right Panel facing in. Insert bolts into the two top sets of holes and loosely attach a nut
onto each one (Figure ). NOTE: Do not insert bolts into the bottom sets of holes yet.
Step 5. Line up the holes in the Handle with the bottom sets of holes in the Right Legs
and Right Panel (Figure ). Insert bolts into both sets of holes, with the heads of the
bolts on the outside. Loosely attach a nut onto each bolt.

Step 6. Lay the attached Left Panel and Legs on the ground as shown in Figure . Take the
Front and Back Panels and line up the holes in the left sides with the holes in the Left
Legs. NOTE: The Legs should be on the outside of the Potting bench with the ledges on
the panels facing in. Insert a bolt into each set of holes and loosely attach a nut onto the
end of each one.
Step 7. Carefully stand up the panels and legs from Step , as well as the attached Right
Panel and Legs. Line up the holes in the Front and Back Panels with the holes in the
Right Legs (Figure ). Insert a bolt through each set of holes and loosely attach a nut onto
the end of each one. Go back and tighten every nut and bolt into place using a Phillips
screwdriver and wrench.
Step 8. Place the Bottom Panel into the Potting Bench so it is sitting on the ledges of the
other panels (Figure ). NOTE: The drainage hole should be positioned so it is closer to
the Handle. Line up the holes in the Bottom Panel with the holes in the ledges and insert
a bolt into each set of holes, starting with the ones in the Bottom Panel. Loosely attach
a nut onto the end of each bolt, and once all are in place, go back and tighten them
using a Phillips screwdriver and wrench.
Step 9. Slide a Wheel onto each end of the Axle and screw on a cap nut (Figure ).
Important: Use your wrench to tighten the cap nuts into place.
Step 10. Notice how each corner of the Shelf has a hook on it. Position the Shelf between
the Potting Bench's legs and slide the hooks into the slots on the inside of each leg
(Figure ).
The powder-coated steel Potting Bench is weather-resistant. However if the finish is
nicked or scratched, use an exterior-grade metal paint to prevent rust.
