How It Works
Step 1: Place the 12" steel base ring under your large pot.
Step 2: Thread the bolt through the center of the base ring so it pokes up through your pot's center drainage hole.
Step 3: Position your pot on the base ring, then place the spacer washer on the bolt (this maintains drainage).
Step 4: Screw the black steel column snugly onto the bolt and spacer washer, locking the base ring, pot, and column securely together.
Step 5: Attach the 9" disk with gripping clips to the top of the column to hold your Pamela Crawford side-planting basket (sold separately).
