Materials needed to build
a deck plant stand.
If you have just completed
a deck project, use the
left over boards to build
deck plant stands.
If you know of someone
else who has just
completed a deck, ask
them for the left over
deck boards, they will
most likely be glad to
get rid of the short pieces.

any length, usually the
left over piece dictates
the length.
18 inches is a good length.
If the deck is small, 12
inches is a good length
for a single pot.

deck screws.
Pilot drill the holes to

inches in length.
Make the feet ends 2
inches in length.

of the feet 1 inch in
thickness.
