Hi Mary.  This is pretty simple.  I bought two 1x2x8.  I made the two cross braces 17 3/8" long.  I cut 9 slats 13" long.  lay the 2 long boards parallel to each other and put the 13" boards on top of them.  I used 1/2 inch spacers between the boards.  I glued them and after the glue dries, flip over and put screws in each board.  I used 2 inch swivel casters.  You can make this any size you need.  I also made this to move my heavy pots. I have even used this to move things like my bookcase and my big scroll saw!  It is very handy!  Have Fun!

What is the size of this and what size wood did you use. Want to make one as this will be perfect to move my heavy pots.

Thanks

Thanks Jay for your nice comments.  I will give your idea of marketing these some thought.  I could use some extra money! LOL   By the way, the patio is something that my ex-husband and I built in 1995.  It is still in great shape.  I guess we did okay! LOL

Hi Lorrie,  I see that the store bought one came to a screeching halt and you have replaced it with some well built new ones.  These would be a gardeners dream to have these to sit large potted plants or even several small ones on.    They are nicely constructed and designed with meticulous care that is always a sign of excellence in construction. 

I do believe you could do well making and marketing some of these.  I noted that you have installed better wheels than the store bought one.  I like them a lot.  Thanks you for sharing your work.  I like the patio stone and design too, I looks well made.
