We had a forum called Dirt Cheap that I can't find now... I got the plans from a thread there a couple of years ago and I am so thrilled with my plant stand!! It is made from PVC pipe and cost me around $40. I just pounded the joints with a rubber mallot and never glued them.. I moved it when I moved last Feb and didn't have any problems!


Here are the instructions:
You will need:
10' lengths of 1" schedule 40 PVC (7 to 8 pieces)
(40) - 1" tees
Hand held Ratchet Style PVC cutting tool (it's worth it)
Tape measure
Sharpie marker (or similar marker - pencil will work)


Cut the pieces as follows: (Colors in the picture)
(16) - 19-1/2" horizontal long pieces (Red)
(16) - 3" horizontal short pieces (white)
(12) - 14" vertical side pieces (Blue)
(12) - 15" horizontal cross pieces (green)
(4) - 5" legs (orange)
T's are gray in pic

Red = 16x 19.5" horizontal bars
White = 16x 3" connectors
Blue= 12x 14" vertical bars
Green= 12x 15" cross bars
Orange= 4x 5" legs
Grey - 40x T-connectors
