How to Build an Outdoor Plant Stand

Use your saw to cut a 15-inch circle out of a sturdy sheet of wood, such as cherry wood. This will be your base. You can use a handheld saw but an electric saw, such as a table saw, will be quicker. Be sure to follow the safety precautions outlined in the user manual for any electric saw you use.

Drill a hole in the center of the base with a bit that matches the dimensions of your threaded spindle and threaded rod.

Insert your threaded spindle in the hole.

Cut two more circles of wood. Cut them between 6 to 8 inches in diameter.

Drill holes in the center of the circles that match the width of the threaded rod.

Insert the threaded rod into the spindle at the base of the stand. The rod length depends on how tall you would like the stand to be.

Thread a spindle over the rod and tighten it at the level you would like the first tier of the stand.

Place one of the wooden circles over the spindle. The spindle will support the stand.

Place another spindle over the rod and tighten it at the next level where you would like the next tier.

Place the remaining circle over the spindle. You will now have two tiers of circular stands supported by the rod.

Paint the stand the color of your choice and let it dry.

Apply a coat of weather sealant over the stand with your paintbrush. This will keep your stand safe from the elements.
