Cost: $45 for timber and fixings. This excludes Resene products.
Learn how to make a tiered plant stand:
Step 1
Measure up your frame timbers and cut to size.
Step 2
Draw out your circles on the exterior plywood using a template like a bowl or plate. Cut circles with the jigsaw and sand the edges.
Step 3
Assemble the T-Brace. Measure out for the screws in the centre, pre-drill and screw together.
Step 4
Measure out for the screws for installing each tier, 200mm up from the bottom of each tier post.
Step 5
Pre-drill and screw together. I used a clamp to hold the timbers in place.
Step 6
Apply Resene exterior finish. I used Resene Furniture & Decking Oil Exterior to show off the timber.
Step 7
Using brush or roller apply paint each side of plant stand circles. I have used Resene Walk-On Flooring & Paving paint for durability.
Step 8
Measure to the centre of each circle and pre-drill. Attach the circles to the centre of the top of each tier post.
