Short PDFs (14–17 pages, full-size stencils included). Digital download, nothing ships. Our own porch-size adaptations of restored public-domain USDA plans.
No. Each mini is a small, simplified Halloween version of one of our restored farm plans, with its own cut list and drawings. The full plans are the original buildings, restored in full; every mini carries a code for €5 off its full plan.
A drill-driver, a saw (a mitre saw makes it quick) and, for the stand and the trough, a jigsaw. Each mini lists every tool on its first pages.
The crates and the trough are one-day builds; the stand takes a weekend. Download straight after checkout and you can start tonight.
It stands at 30 inches so children don't kneel in wet grass, and the plan keeps the water 4 inches deep. Supervise it whenever it holds water and tip it out the same evening.
The stand becomes a potting shelf, the crates are crates, and the trough turns into a raised salad planter. Each plan shows how.
