How to Make a Tree Tote Plant Lift
Having large potted plants in your home or garden can be a beautiful and healthy addition to your space, but moving them around can be a challenge. That's where a tree tote plant lift comes in handy. This handy tool can help you easily move heavy plants without straining your back or damaging your plants. Here's how to make your own:
Materials:
4 wooden boards (2x4 inches)
4 caster wheels
Screws and a screwdriver
Measuring tape
Saw
Steps:
Step 1: Measure and Cut the Boards
Measure the width and length of the bottom of your plant pot. Cut two of the wooden boards to the length of the pot, and the other two to the width of the pot.
Step 2: Attach the Boards
Place one of the long boards parallel to one of the short boards, forming a "L" shape. Attach them using screws. Repeat this with the remaining two boards to create a rectangle. The boards should be secured firmly together.
Step 3: Attach the Caster Wheels
Flip the board rectangle over, so it's upside down. Take the caster wheels and attach them to the bottom of the boards at each corner. Make sure they are evenly spaced, so the platform will roll smoothly.
Step 4: Place your Plant on the Platform
Once the caster wheels are attached securely, flip the platform back over. Place the bottom of your plant pot into the center of the platform. The platform should be proportional to the size of the pot, so it provides the right amount of support.
Step 5: Roll your Plant with Ease
Now your tree tote plant lift is ready to use. It's helped you create a mobile platform for your big plant that you can move more easily around your home or garden. Simply push the platform and guide your plant along to its new location. This method helps you avoid lifting heavy pots and ensures your back is safe from injury.
