We used the Large heavy wire tomato plant stands to put three flower pots on to decorate the front yard, You can find them at many stores or feed supply's, usually a store with them also has assorted pot that you can find to fit just right.

I bent my rings around this large pulley on this unused compressor

Each ring needs to be a 1 1/2 " to 2" larger or smaller from each other.

Step 5: Welding

I welded the ring together and in place with a cheap welder, but ist just a good and much easer to buy the tomato stands , press them in the ground where you want them, paint them and finnally put the plants in place, the just water
