What timber for outdoor plant stand?
Hi all,
Which timber would I need to build something like this picture? It’s to be used outside and probably cheaper to buy instead of making but DIY allows us to customise the size to fit our space
The frame is thin so I’m not sure treated pine or hardwood dresser can be used?
Can I used hardwood like 30x12 and 32x32 DAR Tasmanian oak? Are they strong enough to support multiple plant pots like the pic? If yes do I need any specific oil or stain to use them outside?

The screening is a Special Order, but what about using the 66 x 19mm 0.9m Square Cypress Pine Fence Pickets?

Hi @MitchellMc,
I did end up with this after spending some time with the Bunnings team at the Special Order desk in two different stores. They did their best to help, checking online and calling other stores to ask about the stock of the screening item

Re: Timber for outdoor plants stand
Hello @minhletn
Thank you for the update, what a beautifully built plant stand. Please note that the plant stand will need to be oiled when its current coating begins to fade away.
Again, thank you for sharing such a wonderful project.
Eric
