Develop Planter – Old wooden ladder as leaders of the flowers used

Using an old wooden ladder as a plant stand brings country charm to any room, terrace, or garden. This simple support can become a decorative eye-catcher for flowers. If you want to build this beautiful plant stand at home and make the most of an old wooden ladder, repaint worn areas and add a few new decorative elements.

Build a garden plant stand from an old wooden ladder

Open the wooden ladder and measure the length and width of the rungs. If they are too narrow to hold flowerpots or planters, add wider shelves. Place a wooden board across each level and fasten the extensions to the ladder with wood screws. For extra stability, use four screws on each shelf, two on each side.

Create the plant stand yourself

Sand the ladder with fine sandpaper to smooth the wood. Paint it in a color that complements your terrace furniture, the exterior of the house, or the surrounding garden.

Arrange pots on the new wooden shelves inside the open pyramid shape of the ladder. You can use non-slip plant pads to keep the pots in place. If possible, choose pads or accessories that add a decorative detail to the base of the plant stand. A floral motif, for example, works especially well.
