Stands for hanging baskets

I built two plant stands (10 feet high) with brackets for hanging planters, which were installed in downtown Camas on NE 5th Avenue. This was a fun project as I was asked to build on a very tight budget, but left to design it however I desired. 

I ordered only a few cast pieces, used square steel stock, and other surplus materials that I had on hand. I built the bases out of 6" square steel tube that I had left over from another project and added a moulded base cover to the top. If I had to buy the 6" square tube, it would have been a few hundred dollars over their budget. The powder-coating was donated to the project, which is an added bonus to the downtown.

Happy welding to all of you out there.  Send me some comments and photos of your own!
