For that reason only, I'm considering going that high.
As that is, I'll have to climb a ladder with soil to fill it....
UNLESS I can get sturdy enough pipe to stuff it most of the way horizontally and then stand it up (OUCH, my back says just thinking of that).
CG, could I throw out for your consideration to somehow"within" the height of your tall planter section it off into several parts with something solid enough to hold the soil up? If the planter has for example 3 "solid" sections in between holding up one third of the soil each, then the whole of the soil won't be weighing upon the soil below it so much. I am assuming your structure may be deeper in depth than those vertical pictures frames in which case just inserting something in between each 3rd part of planter would be doable? If this is not the case, then please disregard the above.
I am only suggesting because I have made vertical frames only 18 inches tall and the soil, which is held back by chicken wire, has tendency to sink to the bottom.
