DIY Pipe Plant Stand Ideas For An Industrial Look

Hey there! Are you feeling green-fingered and looking to upgrade your plant display game? Well, have we got a project for you – a copper plant stand!

This stylish stand will have your leafy friends looking their best in no time. Here's how you can make it:

How to:

First things first, gather your materials. You'll need:

Four copper pipes
Copper pipe cutter
Copper elbows (four if you want a rectangular base, six if you want a hexagonal base)
Copper T-joints (four if you want a rectangular base, six if you want a hexagonal base)
A saw or pipe cutter
Sandpaper
A ruler or tape measure
Soldering materials (solder, flux, and a torch or soldering iron)
Wooden board for the base
Drill and screws

Now that you have your materials, you can get started on building your stand:

Cut your copper pipes to the desired height of your stand. You'll need four legs and four supports for a rectangular base, or six legs and six supports for a hexagonal base.
Sand the rough edges of the pipes with sandpaper to smooth them out.
Solder the T-joints to two of the legs to form a base. Repeat for the other side of the base.
Solder the elbows to the tops of your four legs. This will be where the wooden board sits to hold your plant. If you have a hexagonal base, solder the T-joints in between the legs to form the shape.
Cut your wooden board to the size you need for your plant pot.
Drill holes into the board where you want the legs to go. Make sure the holes are big enough for the legs to fit through.
Place the legs into the holes in the board, and screw them in place from underneath.
Place your plant pot onto the wooden board and see how it looks! If you need to adjust the height, you can add or remove piping from the bottom of the legs.

Make sure to measure your plant pot beforehand to ensure that your wooden board is the correct size.
When soldering, make sure to use the correct safety equipment and work in a well-ventilated area.
If you want a shiny finish on your copper, use steel wool to polish it after soldering.
If you're not confident in your soldering skills, practice on some scrap pieces of copper pipe first.
For an extra touch of fun, you can add accessories to your plant stand, such as fairy lights or leaf-shaped cutouts in the wooden board.

There you have it – a stylish and functional copper plant stand! Your plants will surely thank you for the upgrade. Happy crafting!
