I wanted an easy way to attach the pots to a post, and this is a really simple method. The wires around the post are well secured, although I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to check them every year around this time since, although the wood of this post is treated, it will probably deteriorate little by little. Also, the system for attaching the pot to the top of the post doesn’t allow me to remove the pot without emptying it first, and if it takes a hit, it will likely break the pot at the base, so it’s a matter of being careful with it.
I seem to recall that last year I mentioned I would do something before summer with the treated wood post, the pots, and the wire I had bought. I’m only a year late, but I finally made this tower of pots.
As you can see in the video, you just need to make some wire rings with the diameter of the pot. Bend the ends of the rings to fit them into two holes drilled in the post, 2 millimeters apart. Drill a pilot hole between both wire ends and insert a 3-millimeter thick screw. The screw will make some notches in the wire, securing the ring to the wooden post.
Now we just have to wait for the plants to grow a bit more and bloom. But you can see that this is an easy garden project that yields great results, adding more volume to your flowering plants.
