FAQ’s
Can I convert my existing desk into a standing desk?
Yes, you can. There are several DIY ways to convert an existing desk into a standing desk. Metal pipes can be used to create an industrial-looking standing deck that can fit on top of your existing desk. Another idea is to simply add a bed tray on top of an existing desk to make the conversion from sitting to standing.
Is it better to sit or stand all day?
Standing for the majority of the day will improve your overall health. Standing instead of sitting will help lower blood sugar, reduce stress, reduce the risk of heart attack, and leave you feeling less fatigued at the end of the day.
Sitting all day can be detrimental to your health by increasing the risk of developing chronic health conditions. Sitting all day also causes weight gain and weakens muscles.
Does a standing desk fix posture?
You can develop low back pain from sitting all day. Sitting places pressure on the lower vertebrae and causes them to compact. Sitting at a desk also causes you to be in a hunched-over position while working online and your posture will suffer for it.
Standing relieves the pressure on the lower back and having the monitor at eye level keeps your back and shoulders in an upright position instead of being hunched over.
Is it Cheaper to Make Your Own Standing Desk?
You will save a significant amount of money by making your own standing desk. You can choose from many DIY ideas and styles, some of which may enable you to do the conversion project for free.
Recycle materials whenever possible to save money and keep usable items out of the landfill. In addition to it being cheaper to make your own standing desk, it will also allow you to customize your desk area to meet your exact needs. The DIY standing desk will also be a unique one of a kind piece of furniture.

FAQ”S
How deep to build a planter box?
A general rule is each plant or vegetable should have enough space to grow its roots and get water easily. For many vegetables like cucumber, broccoli beets, turnips can grow well in a planter that has a depth of 6-8 inch. Some vegetables such as cabbage need a depth of 10 inch and other vegetables like tomatoes, carrots and peppers can need at 10 inch depth.
What is the best soil for planter boxes?
When filling your planter with soil you need to choose potting mix soil instead of garden soil. Garden soil is too dense for your planter plants, on the other hand potting soil is lightweight and fluffy. A loose soil helps in easy water drainage, air flow and to use a fertilizer for the better growth of plants.
What is the best shape for a planter?
The shape of the planter depends upon the type of plants you are growing. For herbs, flowers and a single plant that have shallow roots you can opt for round pots while for leafy and roots vegetables a square planter is a better choice. Rectangular or square shape allows more surface area to grow many plants and water to fall though the plants so the plants can absorb the nutrients from the soil well.
Should I put holes in planter?
Usually a pots and container comes with a hole at bottom of it that makes drainage of excess water. If there is no hole you should make a one.
How many holes does a planter box need?
For a small pot (4” – 12” in diameter) there should be a couple of holes that are no longer than ½ of an inch. For large pots(16″ in diameter) you need to drill a couple of holes in a size of at least 1 inch in diameter.
