Learn how to make this beautiful wooden outdoor plant stand for multiple plants with just a few simple steps.
I love to bring my houseplants out in the summer and give them lots of light and warm air. However, I don’t have enough room to put them all. Sometimes I’ll place some on the front steps, but recently I came up with an idea to make an outdoor plant stand that will hold multiple plants.

Currently, it’s holding about ten plants which is pretty good. I could probably squeeze in a couple more.
How to Make a Wooden Outdoor Plant Stand
It all started with this cedar lattice we found at Lowes. This piece measured about 6 feet tall and cost about $20. I thought about buying two of them to create an even bigger/taller plant stand but decided to stick with one.
First, cut the lattice in half. My husband used a jigsaw for this step.
Then we held the two halves together with the vertical boards facing out and attached two hinges on top.
Next, he cut out some of the vertical boards in two places to make a space to slide in the shelves.
The shelves were made from a 12 inch by 6-foot piece of pine also at Lowes for about $13.
This 6-foot board was cut into two pieces. One 2.5 feet and the other 3.5 feet.
Now we had a great outdoor plant stand for many of my plants.
To protect the wood and make the piece look uniform, I used a can of spray stain
It fits perfectly on our patio. I’m even thinking about bringing it indoors for the winter. I’ll just have to find something to add to the bottom to protect our wood floors.
You know what that means. More room for more plants!
P.S. If you are like me and need more places to set your plants on you may like this single Wooden Plant Stand, this Modern Plant Stand, or this Rolling Crate Plant Stand. All are easy to make, affordable and are great additions to your home decor.

I love this Patti what a great idea. I’m heading to Lowes this weekend so will look for the materials as I have just the place for one of these plant stands

This project is great and so simple. I wanted to make one of these over the summer to use for storing terracotta pots and starting fall seeds. Maybe next summer because I’ve decided to skip fall gardening. Thanks for this idea, I pinned and plan to build later.
