Those are heavy duty boxes!! Anxious to see what you decide to do with them :) They remind me of the "box" we had to make to store our Bonsai in for the winters in Maine. When we had the backhoe operator dig the hole he commented that it was the perfect size for a casket! LOL We had to make the hole deep enough so the open bottom box would allow the bonsai to sit on the crushed rock floor below frost level. We used that plastic ribbed roofing for the top and hinged it so we could prop it up to give them fresh air once the weather started warming up. A ton of work getting it installed but at least we we were successful in keeping the Bonsai alive every winter!

Took a few pictures yesterday - here's my "dumpster diving" bent willow chair!
