Is it modular at all? It would be really neat to allow for swapping to different size and shape of planters.

Sadly it's not, great idea though.

Wow. That finish looks incredible.

Thanks! I broke out the sprayer. The white is behr waterproofing stain & sealer. The wood is varathane red mahogany. Topped with a satin spar urethane.

How do you like your sprayer? I hate painting/rolling but filling/cleaning/maintaining a sprayer sounds like so much work.

I like it a lot. It's a cheap hvlp I got years ago for for spraying walls(not great for that). I cover it in plastic between coats and spray clean water through when I'm done then give it a rinse. No different with my good brushes/rollers.
