| kwajkid, I have a base with a solid top. Don't remember if the whole thing is solid but I think it is. Anyway I took a plastic pot with a removable drip tray and my DH screwed the tray to the top of the pedestal using a special cement screw. Those great guys at the hardware store can tell you what to use. I could also have glued the tray to the base but this way I can remove the tray if I don't like it. The pot snaps into the tray so it won't get bumped or blown off the pedestal. This way I can take the pot in for the winter or over to my potting bench to plant, etc. This has worked well for me for 3 yrs now. Someone I know had a hollow base with a hole in the top and she glued a short piece of broom handle to her plant tray so it would stick down the hole and keep the pot from falling off. Or maybe it was the "gizmo" that holds a bird feeder on the stick. Can't remember for sure now. Or, maybe, you could use an endcap. Here's a link showing the base and tray last spring.
Best wishes, Barbara. |
