How to create a timber plant stand
DIY plant stand with Outdoor Furniture Oil Spray
What's a foolproof way to refresh your space? By adding a touch of greenery! It's why you've probably noticed plants having a revival right now. A pretty plant, be it a spider plant or succulent, is a simple yet effective way to revamp your living room, bathroom, decking, just about anywhere. But we sense you know that, and have an overflowing plant collection already. We're all for it - but have you thought about a plant stand?
Presenting plants on a plant stand creates a neat look. It also helps improve air circulation and drainage for your plants, and ensures your deck and floors are kept free of unsightly marks leftover from pots. If you don't already have one, we've got the best DIY plant stand, made beautiful by our Outdoor Furniture Oil Spray in Teak.

Preparation
- A Bunnings trip is required for this one. Add the Timber Duck Board Bath Mat and the Black Steel Angled Flat Bar Furniture Leg to your cart. And if you wander into the plant section, try not to buy the entire nursery.
- Using an electric sander, sand back to ensure a smooth surface and to remove any existing coating that may prevent your Outdoor Furniture Oil Spray from adhering evenly.
Transformation
1. Now for the magic of Outdoor Furniture Oil Spray! This outdoor furniture protector spray protects timber from UV, mold and water damage while preserving its natural look. It's the same penetrating oil formula as our brush-on Outdoor Furniture Oil, but more convenient. We recommend applying outdoors, but if applying indoors, ensure you are in a well-ventilated room wearing a protective mask and eyewear. Shake the can for at least 30 seconds, then, holding it 20cm from the surface, begin spraying the bathmat in even, smooth strokes. Make sure to get into the nooks and crannies! Once you've finished spraying, lightly brush the coating to remove any run marks to ensure an even application.
2. Allow the oil to penetrate for 10 minutes, then wipe away excess from the surface with a clean cloth. Allow 12 hours for the oil to dry before repeating the application process for the second coat.
3. Now that the oil has dried, assemble the plant stand. Turn the bathmat upside down and using the screws, attach your legs to each corner.
