How to Prevent Ugly Deck Stains Caused by Potted Plants


We have all experienced it, spend a ton of money on a new patio or deck, only to have it ruined by potted plants within weeks. A potted plant stand or pot stand solves the problem of plant stains once and for all.

How it works:

When a potted plant sits directly on your deck moisture gets trapped under the pot even if the plant is sitting on a plant coaster. All decks are made to withstand the elements and occasional drenching by rain. However there is not a deck, composite, sealed wood or varnished wood that can be exposed to water all day, everyday. Add to that, the complete lack of sun beneath the pot and you have a recipe for a dark nasty permanent stain.

These circular stains can be completely prevented by using a raised pot stand.

Plant Stands will SAVE THE DECK! By allowing air and light to pass under your pots you will never again have to worry about the unsightly stains caused by potted plants. Look for plant stands that have rubber feet to prevent any damage to your outdoor deck. It is also very important that your plant stand allows you pot to drain freely. If a pot can not drain, water will collect, become stagnant and stink.

There are many types of plant stands. Some types include plastic coasters, wrought iron, wrought iron with scroll work and multi tiered stands. Finding a type to match the style of your outdoor patio or deck should be easy.
