DIY Timber Plant Stands - Free Downloadable Plans
Step by step instructions to easily build this project yourself.
“This is a great beginner project, you can use scrap timber you have laying around the house and it’s super easy to customise the design to fit your pots.”
We asked you to request a DIY project for us to do and Plant stand came in a bunch of time so we decided to get give it a crack.
This is a great beginner project, you can use scrap timber you have laying around the house and it’s super easy to customise the design to fit your pots.
We did 2 different designs, one of them we used dowel poles leftover from our surfboard rack. This stand was a little more technical as it has checkouts in the poles, so we decided to make the next one with straight lengths of timber which don’t require the cut outs if you want something super basic.
Enjoy!
