Do you put a round pot or square pot in this planter and what size square or round pot would fit?

I put 10" square plastic containers in my planters. I also stacked an object about 2" high in the bottom to raise the container to the height I wanted. And I love my planters...they look just like wood, but no worries about wood rot! Perfect!

Hi,I have put both. Either one is appropriate. I wouldn't put the soil directly in the planter itself. Right now I have a round pot in my planter and have not encounter any problems. You will need at least a 10 inch pot. Hope this info was helpful and enjoy your planters because I am certainly enjoying mine.Carolyn B.

i buy hanging baskets and remove the hooks. Should fit a round pot thats about 8-9" diameter and about 7" in height.

I actually put a 13 1/2" square pot inside the planter. Fits very well. I bought it at Kmart.

I put an 11" deep round pot that is 12" across. It just barely fits. The one I used is made of a corrugated type material that has a little give to it.

I used a round pot. It was a standard size from my nursery, but I don't have measurement as they are still packed away. The plant was full enough so you couldn't tell it was round in a square planter.

Measure across top of planter and get a round or square just smaller than planter dimensions and a bit shorter so that pot is completely hidden. I have round ones in my planters and the pot doesn't show once the plant material is added.

You put a potted plant on the top. The pot sits into the ring at the very top of the stand with the bottom of the pot sitting on the crosswise pieces. The entire thing is made of the same-size, small diameter iron. It will hold a small-medium size pot, but probably will be unstable with something too heavy or too wide. Check the overall width (and height) of your plant and weight of soil in your pot against the distance between the legs and how much they flex. The stand twists or compresses when you push on it with a small effort; but, if you keep the size of your potted plant not too wide or too heavy, it should not tip over when it gets bumped.

when i bought mine, many years ago, there were 2 different sizes available. as long as you measure the opening on your pot & order the one that fits your specifications, i'm willing to bet it'd work. but i am no expert. good luck

I do not have one it will fit. It's eleven inches at the top. I need a large , shallow, pot which I need to get.

I just measured and a 10 inch pot will not fit. I have an 8 inch pot and there is little room left.

The iron rod is square and will not swivel. It will adjust if lifted out and reinserted - 90 degrees each way. One would have to remove the plant to do it. Perhaps a swivel device can be purchased that would fit between the end of the rod and the planter. The square rod is much stronger than a round rod. If you have planters that grow heavy with water, this is the product you need.

No. I have 2 rotate my planter as the shady side wasnt doing as well as sunny side. Im using a 9 chambered stackable pot

I have one medium size ceramic planter and two decorative vases that are empty. the platforms are not big enough to hold a pot more than 8 or 9 inches and still have room to put one on each platform. I would say a total of maybe 10-12 pds. It is very attractive, though and I really like it.

Yes in 6" square pots and no larger. Four square 6" pots fit nicely under this light. Literally the plants can touch the light diodes and i have not had them burn my plants. If you want a slightly larger light pattern, raise the light up to 2 feet above the top of your pots for a little bit more coverage. I like to keep my light 2 inches off the top of my plants for maximum penetration. Good Luck

Measure the width and length of the opening. If like mine it is square, but if not, take the smaller measurement, say 28 inches, and get the next size smaller.

a 10in pot might be a tight fit. I have mine in a 16in pot, there is still some space around it. the bults that hold the rings stick out a ways but there for holding baskets a simple fix was head to the hardware store.

i think 2" pots will be perfect. you may need to add a bit more soil in some of them.

In terms of putting it in a pot, you would want to measure from the outside of edge of poles. I just measured this way one of mine and it was just under 14" wide. So if you are going to anchor it in a traditional inward slopping pot, I would recommend that the width of the BOTTOM of the pot measure at least 14". Also, you would do well to make sure the height of the pot provides sufficient depth to support the height of the tower. In one instance I placed a tower in a quarter cut wine barrel and discovered the depth of the soil did not provide the best stability, so I had to resort to bracing a couple of the tower legs with stakes. It worked better when I used a half wine barrel. There are always things to consider, and some things are learned only the first trial. The prior comment about the aesthetic of balancing the size of the tower with size of pot is a useful one. I found that a big pot allows you to plant smaller cascading plants such as lobelia around the perimeter while still having room for a climbing plant in the center. I have towers that 5, 7 and 8ft tall scattered around the yard, half in containers and half in ground (with add red support from iron and wood stakes).

The skirt is adjustable in diameter, over ~3" in circumference, to fit the pot being used. Any pot within the diameter limits of this, will work equally well. Vertical pot wall, not tapered, are far better - so a Dutch Oven or stewpot is a clumsy (at best) use of the skirt. OTOH the skirt is probably not needed for a tapered-wall pot.

I have put a pot 12" high 9 1/4" across the bottom of pot and 15" across the top of the pot in my stands. They look great and fit perfect,

I might put another container inside these if you are primarily going for the look, but they really are pretty small. A round 2" pot would be okay, but really for your herbs to get big enough to cut, you'd definitely need a larger container. I have not tested these to see if they are water tight.

It's not oval, it's round, a perfect circle. While I've never put a rack in there (just made stews), I would guess an 8-inch round rack (or smaller) would work.
